Crimson Wins Third Straight ECAC Matchup

Despite the absence of three of its players and Harvard coach Katey Stone, the Crimson women's hockey team (3-0, 3-0 ECAC) continued its winning ways Friday night, taking down ECAC rival Colgate (4-6-1, 1-2-1), 2-0, at Starr Rink.

Junior goaltender Laura Bellamy stole the show for Harvard, recording 20 saves on the way to her first shutout of the season.

The Crimson got the scoring started off early, as sophomore forward Elizabeth Parker netted a pass from classmate Gina McDonald in the first minute of play.

Down a goal in the final minutes of the third period, the Raiders pulled goaltender Kimberly Sass, and Harvard was able to capitalize on the empty net. Sophomore forward Lyndsey Fry tallied the assurance goal at 19:09 in the final frame on a pass from a junior forward Kaitlin Spurling.

Junior defenseman Josephine Pucci, freshman defenseman Michelle Picard, junior forward Jillian Dempsey, and Stone will return to action for the Crimson after finishing up competition for Team USA in this weekend's Four Nations Cup.
