"The team is really positive right now," Dunn said. "We've had a great week of practice and we're obviously very excited. It's our March Madness."

St. Lawrence and Harvard split the season series with the Crimson taking the first meeting, 2-1, and the Saints roaring back in the second encounter, 3-2.

In the last meeting in early January, Harvard outshot St. Lawrence 35-21 and held a 2-1 lead heading into the third.

The Crimson lost only twice all season when leading heading into the third period.

St. Lawrence finished the season on a six-game winning streak and as winners of nine of its last 10. A big part of the Saints' recent success has been the play of freshman goaltender Rachel Barrie, who was named Second Team All-ECAC yesterday as well as ECAC Rookie of the Year.

"They have a really good goaltender and we need to get a lot of shots on net," Dunn said. "We've been looking at video from our last game against St. Lawrence, and if we minimize the mistakes in our own zone, we should be able to capitalize on their mistakes."

In an ECAC quarterfinal last Saturday, Barrie recorded 34 saves to shutout UNH, 1-0. She is 14-3-2 with a 1.77 GAA in 20 games this season.
