No. 5 W. Hockey Faces No. 8 UNH and Maine

"It is a testament to that entire line," Harvard Coach Katey Stone said. "Adding Botterill's game to that line is making it quite dominant."

UNH enters the match-up on a three-game losing streak, recently falling twice to No.3 Minnesota in a pair of close games.

Wildcats captain Michelle Thornton was also among the finalists for the Kazmaier. Thornton is currently third in scoring in the ECAC behind Botterill and Shewchuk, and ranks second in assists.

Wildcats goaltender Jennifer Huggon has played well of late and kept UNH in many games where it could have been blown out. Huggon was named ECAC goaltender of the week for her efforts against Minnesota last week.

After the Wildcats, the Crimson will face the Black Bears (10-9-1, 5-8-1) on Sunday. Maine is coming off solid performances against Providence and Northeastern. The Black Bears defeated the Huskies, then followed that win up with a tie against the Friars for its best pair of games of the season.

The Maine attack is led by freshman forward Karen Droog. Droog has recorded 10 goals in 14 conference games and is the Black Bears' main weapon.

Junior forward Andrea Keller and senior defenseman Kelly Nelson, with 14 and 15 points respectively, also pose a threat on the offensive end.
