With a sweep of the seventh-seeded Clarkson Golden Knights, the 10th-seeded Harvard men’s hockey team (11-19-1, 7-14-1) reached the quarterfinals of the ECAC Hockey Championship last weekend.
If the Crimson hopes to advance to the ECAC semifinals for the seventh time in 10 years, it will need to pull off another upset.
Harvard’s quarterfinal opponent is a familiar foe, third-seeded Dartmouth College (12-8-2, 6-3-1 Ivy). The two teams have squared off on the ice twice this season, with the Big Green coming out on top both times by scores of 8-2 and 5-2. This weekend’s best-of-three quarterfinal series will kick off tonight at Dartmouth’s Thompson Arena in Hanover, N.H.
