W. Hockey To Face No. 1 Dartmouth

"They are a solid team all around with an effective forecheck" Dunn said. "Our goal is just to minimize our mistakes."

All three lines skated well in the Beanpot final and Harvard's big players made the big plays. Senior forward Kiirsten Suurkask scored her first goal in 17 games to tie the Beanpot final 3-3, and Botterill pocketed the overtime winner.

The Crimson will need that kind of performance again tomorrow if it is finally going to snap the Big Green's winning streak. Harvard came close last November.

"We lost a close one earlier in the year and we are just looking for a great game this time around," Botterill said. "Dartmouth always gets up for it when they play us and we do to."

A goal from senior forward Tammy Shewchuk brought the Crimson to within one late in the third in that game, but Dartmouth hung on to win it 5-4.

Harvard could only muster 12 shots through the first 40 minutes and registered a season low fours shots in the second period.

But the Crimson is now a different team from the one that lost by a goal last November. At the time, Harvard had only skated together as a team for four days. Due to commitments with Team Canada, Botterill and Shewchuk were just joining the lineup.
