Crimson Falls in ECAC Semis

Holdcroft had 32 saves on the night to help the Big Green extend its season. Bellamy had a strong game between the pipes as well, recording 23 saves for Harvard.

Senior forward Katharine Chute won 15 faceoffs in last night’s game, more than any other player on either team.

“We came on strong in the third period and did a lot of good things, but we never had the kind of chances we wanted to have,” Stone said. “My hat’s off to them and the pressure they put on us. They shut down our speed, and the goaltender made the saves she needed to make.”

The Crimson won both games against Dartmouth in the regular season, by scores of 5-3 and 3-2, but it is the Big Green that will advance to the ECAC Finals next weekend in the hopes of earning a berth in the NCAA tournament.

Dartmouth will take on No. 2 Cornell, which defeated Quinnipiac, 4-3, in last night’s other ECAC semifinal matchup.

“It’s unfortunate, because we’ve had a tremendous second half of the season to put ourselves in this position,” Stone said. “I’ve been so proud of the kids to get to this point, and it’s disappointing to be a little flat tonight.”
