W. Hockey Earns NCAA Berth After Advancing to ECAC Final

Botterill's breakaway came from the right faceoff circle, while Shewchuk had all the time in the world from inside the blueline, but her shot deflected high off the crossbar.

"It's one of those things, the bounces weren't there," Shewchuk said. "But it's something we know always comes back to us."

"I think we got a lot of good bounces, but it came frrom a lot of hard work," Oberting said. "[My players] did a lot of little things to get themselves the bounces."

Although Harvard has missed out on an ECAC tourney title, its season is far from over. If Harvard and Dartmouth both win their NCAA semifinals, then the Crimson will get a final shot at the Big Green.

Last year, Minnesota, like Harvard this year, earned the No. 3 seed after losing its confernce final. In the national tournament, Minnesota avenged its loss in the conference final and went on to win the national title.

"We're very fired up about next week because we're going to get another chance to play Dartmouth," Stone said. "Yesterday's loss is not the end of the world. It's just one game."

Harvard 7, St. Lawrence 1

St. Lawrence may have split the regular season series with the Crimson, but facing Harvard in the playoffs has been a different story.
