Led by a three-goal and two-assist effort from junior winger Nicole Corriero, the No. 3 Harvard women’s hockey team steamrolled over Colgate and Cornell to a record 10 straight wins to open the season this weekend.

“You just have to get into the role your team needs you to be in,” Corriero said.

Corriero was right where Harvard (10-0-0, 4-0-0 ECAC) needed her, scoring a goal and registering two assists against Cornell (2-6-1, 0-5-0) on Friday, and following this effort with Saturday’s goals in the Crimson’s victory over Colgate (11-6-1, 4-2-0).

The two conference wins now place Harvard in a three-way tie for first in the ECAC with Dartmouth and St. Lawrence.

Harvard will need to adjust its style of play this week against No. 8 New Hampshire and No. 4 Minnesota-Duluth because neither team will play the defensive hockey that Colgate did.

“We going to open things up more,” Stone said. “We need better, cleaner chances to the net.”

Harvard will end its homestand against Wildcats on Tuesday and then will travel this weekend for a key doubleheader against the Bulldogs.

Harvard 2, Colgate 0

After Harvard’s offensive explosion against Cornell on Friday, Colgate attempted to stymie the Crimson scoring with a defensive trap and by clogging the middle of Harvard’s offensive zone with players.

Although the Raiders kept the scoring low, they still couldn’t stop the Crimson’s offense.

“We wanted to get good movement down low, cycling the puck,” Corriero said. “We tried to get them moving, and to move ourselves.”

Just over one minute into the second period, Colgate goaltender Rebecca Lahar was given a two-minute minor for delaying the game.

Harvard capitalized on the power play a minute later. Co-captain defenseman Angela Ruggiero passed to sophomore forward Julie Chu, who faked a shot and then slid the puck to a cutting Corriero on the opposite side. Corriero one-timed the puck into the back of the net to give Harvard the 1-0 advantage.

Corriero’s struck again on the power play with seven minutes remaining in the game.

Corriero took the puck by herself from the upper right of the face-off circle and brought it into the middle to take a shot. Lehar turned the puck away, but the rebound went right back to Corriero, who had continued towards the net, for the finisher.
