CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.--It's Harvard and Northeastern once again in the women's Beanpot final.
The Crimson dispatched B.C. 8-1 last night at Kelley Rink, and the Huskies took care of BU 9-0 to set up another installment of one of the best rivalries in women's college hockey. The Beanpot championship game is set for next Tuesday night at B.C.
"You have to be careful not to put too much on one game, however," Harvard Coach Katey Stone said. "It's the Beanpot, but you just have to win one next Tuesday night. Northeastern is going to come in here ready... and we're going to give them everything they can handle."
Although the outcome of last night's game was predictable, the Crimson (14-6-0, 14-2-0 ECAC) put on an entertaining performance nonetheless.
In an evening of hat tricks and highlights, senior winger Tammy Shewchuk and sophomore winger Kalen Ingram each scored three times. It was the first hat trick for either player this season.
"It is nice to get it," Ingram said. "But it's an 8-1 game and all we really needed was the second goal."
The Harvard record for points in a game is nine. Shewchuk has done it twice in her career against B.C. (5-23-0. 1-20-0), and last night, Ingram made a run at the record with seven.
"But Harvard hockey is not about statistics," Stone said. "It is about winning games. Period. However it happens, it doesn't matter. It's about winning games."
