Team goals obviously come before individual accolades at this time of year. There was plenty of evidence of that on the ice Saturday. Still, as her career comes to a close, it is hard to believe there isn't a part of Shewchuk that wants to use these playoffs as a chance to solidify her place in Harvard hockey history.

"Tammy's out to make a statement, and I hope she keeps making that statement--in our building or in someone else's," Stone said. "She is definitely one of the best players in the country, and she showed it today. She played great defense. She was tough today, really tough."

She is Harvard's all-time leading scorer with 297 career points after surpassing A.J. Mleczko's '99 career mark of 257 earlier this season.

Shewchuk is the Crimson's all-time leader in goals with 148 and assists with 149. The 38 goals she scored her rookie year are second only to her own Harvard record of 51 goals from the national championship season of 1998-99.

Most goals in a game, most points in a game, most top-10 seasons in scoring just add to the list of Harvard records Shewchuk owns.

She's rewritten most of the record book, but the accolades and awards have never really followed.

First team ECAC, All-Ivy and All-American status in the 1998-99 season went a long way in terms of recognition, but she's always missed out on the big awards.

Brown's Tara Gardner beat her out for Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors in 1997, and one of her own linemates has been Ivy Player of the Year for the past three seasons. Mleczko won the award outright in 1999, while Botterill shared the award with Brown's Ali Brewer in 2000 and was the unanimous choice in 2001.
