...over then-No.1 Dartmouth. It was the Crimson's first victory over the Big Green in five tries. In both games, senior Kiirsten Suurkask netted the game-tying goals, and Botterill netted the game-winners. It was the third consecutive year that Botterill had scored in overtime to defeat Northeastern en route to the Beanpot title...
...ECAC semifinals, Harvard avenged an earlier defeat to St. Lawrence in dominant fashion, rolling to a 7-1 victory that essentially locked up a Crimson NCAA berth. But Harvard's title hopes were stymied by Dartmouth in a 3-1 defeat the next day in front of a league-record crowd of 2,592. During the course of the weekend, Shewchuk scored her 300th career point, and Botterill broke the collegiate hockey record for consecutive games with at least one point...
...team came together, however, executing one comeback after another to defeat No. 55 UVA in dramatic fashion. Broughton avenged her loss at second doubles earlier in the day, defeating Laura James 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 in third singles. Ajilore was next to finish.

For me, a reporter and fan, winning is a nice goal but I'm happy if I see a great game, even if my team loses...
...Clemente and Tara Dunn both developed into hard-nosed players in the last four years, but their college careers ended, just like my intramural crew season, in defeat. They worked their butts off, and turned in some outstanding performances, but in the final analysis they came up a little short. I have no problems with coming up short -- indeed, those of you who have stood next to me know how short I really...
