"I could tell just by walking past their locker room that they were ready for us," a disappointed Harvard. Coach John Dobley said afterwards. "We are show in town yesterday. For them, it was a lot easier to get up for Harvard than it was for us to get up for Colby."

Playing with little zest, the ice women saw an early 1-0 lead vanish and afterwards became victims of a upset, which severely dashed AIAW playoff hopes.

The loss dropped the 10-7, while Colby raised10-6. Ant with the win, the into the race with Harvard, Dartmouth for the two remaining to be extended this weekend , Northeastern and virtually locked up the four bids, which will be sold AIAW committee.

"It's a pretty tight race now " said Dooley, whose squad is seeking. It is season bid ever. "This loss pretty much shows up in the air, and from here pretty arbitrary thing."

Not even the was enough incentive for the Crimson yesterday as it managed just 20 shots on goal. "We had to come right off the bus and go right on in and play," Dooley said. "We just weren't ready and were never able to get untracked."

After the two squads skated through a scoreless first period, Harvard tallied the first score when Kathy Carroll took a pass from Vicki Palmer and slapped it past Mule goalie Mary White.

Colby struck back quick, however, scoring at 10:32 when Crimson netminder Cheryl Tate misplayed Susan McNiven's slapshot. The Mules went on top for good at 15:45 of the second period when McNiven scored again.

Colby added two goals in the third--the last into an open net--to make the final 4-1 sending the Crimson into today's match at Bowdoin with only scanty playoff hopes.

"The playoffs will probable depend on how we do Saturday against Princeton," said Dooley, referring to his team's regular season finale. "If we win that, we'll have a good shot. It all comes down to that."
