The icewomen would have preferred to end their frustrating 3-10 1979-80 season with last weekend's superb second-place performance in the Women's Beanpot.
But post-season scheduling dictated otherwise, and the Crimson traveled to Princeton University this weekend only to clinch the cellar position in the Ivy League tournament by losing Saturday's consolation game to Yale, 2-0.
Go for It
Although Harvard went into the game after a somewhat surprising 3-1 loss to Brown, "the feeling wasn't 'This is a consolation game for losers' but 'This is our final game of the season, so let's play hard,'" Crimson co-captain Firkins Reed said yesterday.
Harvard did hustle, outshooting the Bulldogs 20-3 in the second period alone. Winger Sara Fischer, who sparked the icewomen on offense for the past month, continually pushed past the Eli blueline, challenging Yale netminder June Mendoza.
The Wall
Harvard found Saturday's loss a particularly bitter pill to swallow because it marked the third time this season Harvard had fallen to its archrivals. The Bulldogs play a characteristically rough breed of hockey, and "they just don't make it really fun," Reed said, adding "Yale is a team we just hate."
