After a number of good scoring chances, Harvard broke through against Dartmouth netminder Mariel Lacina late in the first period. Junior Sarah Wilson found Liza Ryabkina in the slot on the left side and the freshman lifted a shot over Lacina's glove for the fifth goal of her rookie season. Lacina, who finished with 39 stops, 16 of them in the opening frame, got the start in lieu of regular Big Green goalie Carli Clemis and saw her goals-against average rise from a sparkling 0.60 to a more pedestrian...

It's one more way of guaranteeing that one more proud parent, who just happens to be a movie star, will show...
...complete his hat trick with an empty-net goal after he managed to clear the puck from Clarkson’s zone. Though disappointed at the ending, Harvard’s offense gave the Golden Knights defense a challenge by rushing the net in transition, finding teammates in the slot, and screening Clarkson goaltender David Leggio on blue-line shots. Leggio withstood 31 shots for the win.“I think we out-chanced them tonight. We outshot them, although the shot clock doesn’t count for points,” co-captain David MacDonald said...
