The women’s hockey team will begin its ECAC season this weekend against Ancient Eight rivals Dartmouth and Harvard. The Red, coming off of two successive 1-4 losses to the top-ranked D-I Mercyhurst Lakers last weekend, enters this weekend with an 0-2 record. Dartmouth and Harvard, will hit the ice at Lynah at 3 p.m tomorrow and Saturday respectively.
