...Clarkson squad at Potsdam, N.Y. this past Saturday, the No. 8 Harvard women’s hockey team would possibly have had to make the journey back to the Golden Knights’ home next week for the opening round of the ECAC playoffs. But a quick shot from senior Jennifer Raimondi—netting her second crunch-time goal of the night—with only a single second left gave the Crimson the road win, the four seed, and the home ice advantage. “It was definitely the most dramatic goal that I have scored this...
...Harvard men’s hockey team rallied from two one-goal deficits to snare a 3-2 victory over St. Lawrence on Friday night, bringing itself to the verge of a first-round playoff bye. Senior Dan Murphy led the charge with two goals, including the winning tally, and Kevin Du notched two assists. The winning goal came with 11:52 left in the third period after Ryan Maki, skating down the middle of the ice, drew the Saints (18-13-2, 12-8-1 ECAC) defenders off of the blue line and slid a pass to Murphy...

In the past, there was speculation that...
...waning minutes of last year’s Ivy League basketball playoff against Dartmouth, a defeated Harvard bench and a lopsided box score told the story that two regular-season thrillers between the Crimson and the Big Green could never tell.Harvard, come-from-behind darlings in two previous games against Dartmouth, just did not have the interior muscle to contend with bruising Big Green forward Elise Morrison. Throughout last season, the Crimson lacked a true offensive and defensive post presence. The result? Harvard outhustled and often outshot slower opponents, but the Crimson fell short—literally—against...
