Despite this glaring discrepancy, Harvard did not defeat UConn as easily as Cornell and Colgate this weekend.
“Conneticut did a really nice job,” said Harvard coach Katey Stone. “They played really physical and clogged up the middle.”
UConn’s solid performance should be good preparation for this Sunday’s matchup at No. 7 Brown, likely the toughest ECAC game the Crimson will play until February.
“From the goaltender all the way up, Brown’s good,” Stone said. “We have to clean our game up a little bit.”
Against Brown, the Crimson will again be without center and captain Kalen Ingram, still suffering from a broken thumb.
“She’s doing everything for us but playing hockey,” Stone said.
