Dartmouth has not won the conference title just yet.
The Harvard women's hockey team swept its weekend series, defeating No.8 UNH 4-1 on Saturday and crushing Maine 5-1 yesterday at Bright Hockey Center.
With No.4 St. Lawrence falling to Niagara on Saturday, the No.5 Crimson (13-6-0, 13-2-0 ECAC) gained sole possession of second place in the conference.
The Crimson now stands seven points behind the No.1 Big Green for the ECAC lead, but Dartmouth has three games in hand over Harvard. Both teams will meet in two weeks in a game that could potentially decide the ECAC regular season title.
Harvard 5, Maine 1
Harvard had no problem.
The Crimson overwhelmed Maine's defense by blasting 67 shots on goal en route to a 5-1 victory over the Black Bears yesterday afternoon.
