For the Harvard Crimson women’s hockey team, the 2007-2008
season had its share of ups and downs. The team was ranked number
one in the country for most of the year, went undefeated in
conference play, and had only one loss all during the regular
season.
Come playoff time however, the Crimson fell once again to a WCHA
team in the NCAA semifinals, losing 4-1 to Wisconsin.
“I think we tried to move on pretty quickly from last year
because there are definitely a lot of things we learned from how it
ended,” said Crimson captain Sarah Vaillancourt. “Those

helpful for some of our players and I think is something that will
help us down the road.”
