NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale starts a stretch of 15 straight conference games to end the regular season with two of the toughest teams in ECAC Hockey, No. 8 Dartmouth and Harvard, coming to Ingalls Rink on Alumnae Weekend. The Big Green (Friday, 7:00 p.m., free live video on Yale All*Access, GameTracker) and the Crimson (Saturday, 4:00 p.m., free live video on Yale All*Access, GameTracker) are one-two in the league standings. Yale has won five of its last seven.
Yale-Dartmouth
The last meeting between these two teams was a 3-3 overtime tie in
Hanover in which the Bulldogs rallied from a two-goal deficit in
the third period behind goals from senior forward Crysti
Howser (Wilmette, Ill.) and senior forward Maggie
Westfal (New Canaan, Conn.). Sophomore goalie Jackee
Snikeris (Downingtown, Pa.) made 31 saves, shutting out
Dartmouth for the final 36:17 as her team mounted a comeback. Carli
Clemis, who made 28 saves in that game, is seventh in the country
in save percentage (.936). Forward Jenna Cunningham leads the team
in points (7-11-18).
Yale-Harvard
Harvard has gone 3-7-2 since starting the season 3-0-0. The Crimson
took a pair of 3-0 wins over Yale last season, with goalie
Christina Kessler totaling 43 saves. Only one of Harvard's six
goals was scored at even strength, so special teams could be a
major factor Saturday. The Crimson is led by Canadian Olympian
Sarah Vaillancourt (6-11-17).
