Dartmouth and the Crimson are familiar foes, having played most recently on Feb. 21 at Thompson Arena. On that occasion, Harvard won 4-1, and the Crimson took the teams’ earlier meeting at Bright as well.
Harvard seems to match up very well against the Big Green, but talented players like freshman forward Hugh Jessiman, sophomore Lee Stempniak and co-captain Trevor Byrne assure that Dartmouth is a serious threat.
Unlike the Big Green’s three games at home, the Crimson’s sweep of Vermont provided two advantages: an extra day of rest and confidence for the road ahead.
“This [playoff sweep] is a good momentum builder for us going into Albany,” Mazzoleni said.
