Hoping to utilize its momentum and energy gained from its 8-0
victory over Union last weekend, the women’s hockey team
(12-12-5, 8-9-5 ECAC) begins its postseason on the road, facing off
against Harvard tomorrow afternoon.
“Our team is actually very excited to play Harvard this
weekend. It is going to be a very exciting and close game. We have
no fears playing Harvard,” said sophomore forward Rebecca
Johnston. “They are a very good team, but we can definitely
matchup to their play, and I think if we play our best, then we can
definitely come out on top.”
In the first round of the playoffs, the Red finds itself in a
repeat situation, having faced the Crimson in the first round of
last season’s playoffs. Although Harvard was able to defeat
Cornell in the best-of-three quarterfinal round, Cornell is
well-prepared and has been eagerly awaiting this rematch.
