PRINCETON - The Princeton women's hockey team travels to Boston this weekend to take on fourth-ranked Harvard in a best-of-three ECAC Quarterfinal series at the Bright Hockey Center. Princeton took the season series from Harvard with a win and tie but both games went to overtime.

Princeton split its games last weekend, falling to Brown in overtime last Friday and blanking Yale on Saturday in the regular season finale. On Friday, Danielle DiCesare and Corey Stearns scored to give Princeton a 2-0 lead, but three straight Bear goals gave Brown a third period lead. Charissa Stadnyk evened the game at 3-3 quickly but a Brown goal with 19 seconds remaining in overtime gave the Bears the 4-3 triumph.

The Tigers bounced back a day later with two goals in the first and third periods and 20 saves from Rachel Weber to blank Yale 4-0 and complete the home schedule with a win. Paula Romanchuk, Stadnyk, Heather Landry and Julie Johnson had the goals for the Tigers.
