What to Know
Harvard is hosting ECAC Hockey Quarterfinals for the first time since 2015, the year the team advanced to the National Championship game.
Harvard swept Yale in the season series, beating the Bulldogs 5-2 in November and 4-2 in December.
2015 was also the last time Harvard faced Yale in postseason, the Crimson taking down the Bulldogs 2-1 and 3-0 in the quarterfinals.
Senior co-captains Kat Hughes and Ali Peper lead the team in career scoring against Yale. Hughes tops the roster with seven points on two goals and five assists while Peper follows close behind with six assists in games against the Bulldogs.
Katey Stone, The Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women’s Ice Hockey, has currently raked in 492 wins during her tenure at Harvard. That mark ranks her third all-time among Division I coaches of women’s programs.
Postseason awards are trickling in, Ali Peper having been named a finalist for ECAC Hockey Student Athlete of the Year while she, Kristin Della Rovere, Becky Dutton and Dominique Petrie received All-Ivy honors.
