...Northeastern was a very emotional, intense game," Stone said. "We dug ourselves a hole, but we were able to scratch and claw and come back. We also had to do that a UNH in December, and this next game should be just as exciting...
...forward scorers. The top three scorers all play on Harvard's first line--co-captain A.J. Mleczko (17 goals, 40 assists, 57 points), sophomore winger Tammy Shewchuk (22-24-40) and Botterill (16-26-42)--which combined for six goals Tuesday night and all three Crimson goals at UNH.

...score of the first game might also have been low because it was played on UNH's larger, Olympic-sized rink. Harvard has scored less than five goals only four times this season, and two of those games were played on large ice surfaces (at UNH and Minnesota).
