HANOVER, N.H.--While Dartmouth was relishing in its first ever ECAC women's hockey championship, Harvard was already moving on.

"We're going to play another day," said Harvard Coach Katey Stone. "You put all these lessons in your head...because we're going to see the same thing next week."

The No. 3 Crimson could get another shot at No. 1 Dartmouth next Sunday at the Frozen Four finals in Minneapolis, Minn.

Even after yesterday's frustrating loss, Stone was confident and very proud of the Crimson's performance.

"We put ourselves in a position to win this game a number of different times, particularly at the end when we pulled the goaltender," Stone said. "We were still able to generate the same kind of firepower we normally do."

The Crimson dominated the second half and played step-for-step with Dartmouth through the first, outshooting the Big Green 22-5 in the third period and 47-28 in the game.

Senior forward Tammy Shewchuk chalked the difference in the game down to luck and a couple of bounces that could have gone either way.

"This is a game of inches," Shewchuk said. "In the first period things could have gone very differently...The bounces just weren't there, but it's nothing really to be concerned about."
