Chances for Winning Season Grow; Icewomen Demolish B.C. Eagles, 13-2

Sparked by Diane Hurley's five-goal performance, the Harvard women's ice hockey team cruised to its third straight win, thrashing Boston College 13-2 at McHugh Forum last night.

Following a come-from-behind 4-2 win over Yale on Saturday and a 12-0 rout of Wesleyan last Wednesday, last night's victory raises the icewomen's record to 9-5-0 as they prepare for Ivy League rematches against Dartmouth tomorrow and Yale this Saturday.

A Sue Yunick tally gave Harvard an early lead in the first period, and two quick goals by Hurley upped the score to 3-0 after one. Harley poured in three more in a second period in which Harvard scored seven times, increasing their lead to 10-0.

The Crimson defense relaxed in the final period and allowed tow goals by B.C.'s Lynn Muray, but three more Harvard tallies made the final a devastating 13-2.

Hurley's linemate, freshman Liz Ward, also registered gaudy statistics, scoring one goal of her own and assisting on four of Harley's live.

Harvard battered B.C goalie Rita McGuirk with 51 shots, evidence that coach John Dooley's reorganization of the team's forward lines last week has succeeded in delivering more offense.

Faster than a Speeding Bullet.

Three Harvard goals came within 1-19 of each other early in the second period, probably a team quick scoring record, according to assistant coach Bill McDonald Katrinka Leschey scored at 1:12, with tallies from Hurley and Ward following in quick order.

Cheryl Tate continued her remarkable season in goal shutting out the Eagles in the first period before retiring in favor of backups Tracy Kimmel and France Rural Between them the three goalies have a goals against average under two, with Tate playing about 70 percent of the time.
