ALBANY, N.Y. - Last weekend's action helped solve some postseason questions as six teams are now assured postseason spots.  The puzzle is still not complete as four teams will fight for two home ice spots and three teams will battle for the final two spots.

No. 1-ranked Harvard remained perfect in league play by clinching its fifth ECAC Hockey title, downing Princeton 3-1 in a come-from-behind win.  Freshman forward Kate Buesser tallied the game-winner for the Crimson with five minutes remaining in the contest.  League-leading scorer Sarah Vaillancourt and Randi Griffin also tallied goals for Harvard, while netminder Christina Kessler made a season-high 30 saves to pick up her 22nd victory.  Harvard would earn its 14th consecutive win the following day, blanking Quinnipiac, 4-0, as Kessler set a new NCAA Division I single-season shutout record. 

The Scarlet and Brown, who have already nailed down the No. 2 seed in the ECAC Hockey Tournament, picked up an additional four points last weekend with wins over Yale and Brown, 5-3 and 3-2, respectively.  The No. 6-ranked Saints have won three in a row and will have home ice in the postseason.

No. 9-ranked Clarkson scored two wins last weekend scoring five goals in each contest, while only surrendering one goal.  With her four-point effort in the win over Brown, Britney Selina set a new school-record for points in a season with 40 for the Golden Knights. 

Freshman forward Rebecca Johnston scored three goals and added one assist in helping the Big Red to road victories at Union and Rensselaer.  Sophomore netminder Jenny Nieluchowski was solid between the pipes showcasing a 1.50 GAA and .936 save percentage in the two wins for Cornell.

The Big Green re-entered the No. 10 spot in the national polls, as they picked up three league points with a defeat of Quinnipiac, 6-0, and an overtime tie at Princeton, 2-2.  Dartmouth  was led by senior forward Carrie Thompson, who netted her first collegiate hat trick.

Colgate earned its seventh consecutive playoff bid with a weekend split on its visit to the Capital District.  The Raiders bounced back from a 3-2 setback to Rensselaer Friday to defeat Union, 4-1.  Junior forward Sam Hunt scored her 100th career point on an unassisted goal versus the Dutchwomen. 

The Tigers picked up one league point last weekend in two hard-fought contests.  Princeton jumped out to an early 1-0 lead over the Crimson, but could not hold it.  The Tigers, who salvaged a tie the following day versus Dartmouth, were gritty all weekend, outshooting both top 10 teams on the weekend.

Rensselaer kept its postseason aspirations alive with a one-goal win over Colgate.  Junior goaltender Ashley Mayr stopped 30 shots in getting the win.
