Fittingly, Botterill and Shewchuk have each been named finalists for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, which recognizes the top player in women's college hockey. Since the other finalist is Minnesota defenseman Courtney Kennedy, it is safe to say that Harvard's duo is the best in the land.
No matter how many individual accolades come their way, however, Botterill and Shewchuk have not lost sight of the larger goal, bringing home a national championship.
That quest will continue Friday night when the Crimson lace up against No. 2 Minnesota-Duluth in the Frozen Four semifinals.
All that matters then is the game and winning Harvard's second national title in three years.
Until the Kazmaier announcement Saturday, however, expect the hype and anticipation surrounding this one-two punch to keep escalating.
