"We had many many more oppurtunities than they did. Everyone hustled really well and we all passed really well," Joslin said. "We just couldn't finish it off."

Any clues to the case of the missing punch?

Big Green Kelley Coyne could be holding the vital clue in her glove.

"Kelley Coyne's been All-Ivy for a while, and she played super," Dooley said. "Generally, with the opportunities and shots we had today, 90 percent are goals. But against Kelley, who's the best goalie around, it just doesn't happen that way."

Although unable to beat Coyne, the Crimson's trip to Switzerland over break helped its play. The wider rink gave Harvard a good chance to practice its spacing and the nature of the tournament--with checking allowed--gave the Crimson a little practice with more aggressive play.

"We were definitely more physical," Joslin said, "which helped to get us into the game right away."

But hockey over the break took a lot out of the team and left a few martyrs. Hansen played with the flu, and Stickles and Sandra Whyte played injured.

"Now there are some kids that are sick an tired," Dooley said. "But, we'll be back."
