Harvard Crimson Women 09-10

Re: Harvard Crimson Women 09-10

Yes, it feels better being able to dress 17 skaters instead of 14 as they did against Clarkson the first time around (missing Conway, Romatoski and Ryabkina, if I recall).

Thanks for the photos. I noticed Lauren McAuliffe, NU's assistant coach. She played at Harvard and graduated in '04 I believe. Great to see that she is coaching in women's hockey. Very intelligent player.

I'm sad to see that her NU coaching bio has now surpassed her "20 Questions" from the 2004 ECAC program as her No. 1 hit. But I suppose that had to happen someday :P

Did you miss that she took Manhattanville to the NCAA Division III final as their interim head coach in 2008? Also, she's interim co-head coach since Flint is with Team USA.

New on the Blog: Our five thoughts from the booth on the women's Beanpot, with video and photos courtesy of Harvard Athletics, as well as audio highlights from Harvard's postgame press conference. It's all here.

Totally missed it Dave but I'm not surprised. She was a very heady, intelligent player who played every shift as if it were her last. Not blessed with great speed, she made up for it in other ways to contribute to the Crimson's success.

Why didn't Manhattanville hire her full-time? Was the permanent head coach on leave? Their loss is Northeastern's gain and someday soon, I'm sure she will be leading her own program.
 
Re: Harvard Crimson Women 09-10

Really disappointing result from last night. And a disturbing trend is starting to show up for the Crimson. Inability to hold on to a third period lead. They lost a lead to Cornell in January at Bright and almost gave away the Yale game. And now last night. This hurts them in terms of home ice for the playoffs because they now lose out on tiebreakers to both Princeton and RPI.

We'll have to sweep the remaining three games and get some help in order to finish in the top four. I don't see it happening but I'm hopeful. The team hasn't performed all that well on the road this year against winning teams so I don't hold out much hope that we'll get by the first round if we have to do it on the road. Especially if we have to face RPI. I mean, what's up with that? All of a sudden we can't beat them? Yeeeeesh!

We do however, hold the tiebreakers if we're in a three way tie, or so it seems. The ECAC has us first out of a tie with Q-Pac and RPI, or they did last night when I checked the standings. Not sure if they reshuffled them later.

And yes, RPI is starting to get on my nerves. Hold out hope though, Clarkson will obviously be tough and SLU is no pushover, but Harvard can do this.

I just checked the standings and they have been updated to reflect last night's results. I'm guessing we are currently in third due to the fact that we have more wins than RPI and QPac. This is going to be a dogfight to the end with any one of four teams either winding up third or possibly seventh.

The key game in my mind will be SLU next Friday. We beat them and we've got the tiebreakers and the win total to at least have a very good shot at home ice. Then the biggie against Clarkson and you're right, we can do this. We only lost to them 1-0 at Bright early in the season when our roster was depleted. Let's see what happens now that Ryabkina is in the lineup.

First tiebreaker is total points in the overall head to head.

RPI swept Harvard and split with Q-Pac. 6 points.
Quinnipiac split with both. 4 points.
Harvard split with Quinnpiac and was swept by RPI. 2 points.

RPI wins the tiebreaker for 3rd.

Now it's a tie between Quinnipiac and Harvard for 4th. The first tiebreak is, again, points head to head, which is a tie. 2nd tiebreak is ECAC wins, which Harvard leads 11-9.

Harvard wins the tiebreaker for 4th, Quinnipiac is in 5th.

However, I should point out that Harvard has an advantage since they're playing Union this afternoon. That should be 2 easy points, which means RPI and Quinnipiac have to win their tougher games in order to keep pace. RPI plays Dartmouth, Quinnipiac plays Clarkson. We may see Q-Pac drop (but who knows, Princeton beat Clarkson last night), but Harvard still needs to have more points than RPI to be ahead of them.

New on the Blog: With the Winter Olympics Women's Hockey starting today, we check in with the 5 Harvard grads playing for Team USA and Team Canada here.
 
Re: Harvard Crimson Women 09-10

Olympic update:

Not Harvard Hockey exactly but I have had a hard time finding details of womens hockey. USA Hockey apparently does not let you look unless your browser is IE and the NBC site is focusing more on important things like snowboarding (If I see that goofy red headed kid one more time I may scream)

However after drilling down through a number of pages at the Boston Globe I could not find a real box score but I did learn than Jen Botterill got one goal and Sarah Vaillaincourt got three assists in Team Canada's fairly decisive 18-0 victory over Slovakia..

If anyone has a good source of hockey box scores please post it here.

I think Q-Pac and Princeton have the best chance of moving up because they are at home next week to Brown and Yale. True Yale gave Cornell a tough game last night but I don't expect Princeton or the Bobcats to have problems getting four points.

I think RPI and Harvard are in pretty much the same boat next week. Both on the road facing tough opponents (don't discount Colgate, they still have something to play for given that Dartmouth has to play Clarkson and SLU as well). I like our chances next weekend because we only lost 1-0 to Clarkson early in the season when we were shorthanded due to injury and roster defections. We've got SLU's number and I think the team will be motivated to secure home ice for the first round. After that, anything can happen and who knows, we might get home ice for the first semi the following weekend.

ESPN.com has all the women's hockey box scores if you go to Olympic results. The IIHF web site is also good, for all international tournaments.

It was her personal decision not to stay at Manhattanville.

With Harvard and RPI tied right now, why is Harvard listed ahead of them in the standings? I get that Harvard has more wins, but RPI has head to head, the first tie breaker. Does the league only take head to head in account at the end of the season?
