The Harvard women's hockey team enters the 2008-09 campaign ranked third nationally and with its annual high goals of competing for Ivy League, ECAC Hockey and NCAA titles clearly in sight.

Last season, the team once again proved to be among the nation’s best, compiling a 32-2-0 mark which included an NCAA record 21-game win streak. Harvard became the first women’s ECAC Hockey team to go unbeaten against league teams in the regular and postseason. The Crimson was 22-0-0 against ECAC opponents in the regular season and 5-0-0 in the postseason.

Harvard captured the Beanpot, Ivy League and ECAC Hockey regular season and tournament titles and reached the NCAA tournament for the seventh time in the event’s eight-year history. Harvard made its fifth-straight appearance in the Frozen Four, was a national semifinalist and finished the season ranked No. 4.
