CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After a nearly month-long stretch of games at home or in the Boston area, Harvard women's ice hockey will hit the road this weekend to play its first ECAC hockey away series since December. The Crimson (2-18-2, 1-14-1 ECACH) will make the trip to take on No. 10 Quinnipiac (16-8-4 7-6-3 ECACH) and No. 13 Princeton (14-8-1, 8-7-1 ECACH) while looking to collect more points in conference play. Harvard will also be looking for revenge after dropping its first two games against the Bobcats and the Tigers earlier this season.
 

What to Know

 

Last Time Out

Harvard went toe-to-toe with two of the best teams in the nation this past weekend at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center in contests against No. 5 Colgate and No. 6 Cornell.
 
The Crimson nearly pulled off the upset in the battle with the sixth-ranked Raiders but fell in overtime, 3-2. Gabi Davidson Adams scored two third period, powerplay goals to spark the Crimson upset bid. The team still managed to take a point away from the matchup by pushing the game to overtime.
 
Angelica Megdanis found the back of the net against No. 6 Cornell, scoring her second goal of the season, but the Crimson could not hold off a strong Big Red offense in an eventual 6-1 defeat.
 

Series History Against Quinnipiac

Harvard owns a 20-17-3 record against the Bobcats dating back to the 2005-06 season. Quinnipiac has gotten the better of the Crimson in recent history taking seven of the last eight matchups. The last battle with Quinnipiac earlier this season was a breakout game for first-year goaltender, Ainsley Tuffy, who made 40 saves an allowed only one goal to stump one of the nation's best offenses.
 

Series History Against Princeton

One of Harvard's oldest rivals, the Crimson has met the Tigers on the ice 99 times in program history. Harvard owns a 51-41-7 lead in the all-time series dating back to 1979-80. The Tigers took the first game of the season series earlier this year at the Bright-Landry Hockey Ceneter, 5-3 and have a slight lead in the past ten matchups at 3-6-1.
 

GDA x2

Harvard senior forward Gabi Davidson Adams scored two goals in the third period against No. 5 Colgate to record her first career multi-goal game. It was also the first time a member of the Crimson has scored twice in a game this season. GDA has collected a point in the past three games to help her grab a hold of the team lead in points with 10 on the season.
 

Blocking Shots

The Crimson's ability to get in shooting lanes and block shots has been a staple of the team's defensive success during the 2024-25 season. Currently, Harvard leads the ECAC and ranks second in the nation with 18.3 blocked shots per game.
 
Individually, Jenna MacDonald ranks second in the nation with 2.7 blocked shots per game. Her teammates Kaley MacDonald and Mia Biotti also rank in the top 20 nationally at 12^th and 19^th, respectively.
 

New Attendance Record at Bright-Landry

Harvard women's ice hockey broke its attendance record last weekend after 1,741 fans poured into the Bright-Landry Hockey Center to watch the Crimson take on Cornell. The team shattered its old record of 1,300 that was set in the 2023-24 season.
 

Lucia Makes History

First-year forward, Ella Lucia, wrote her name in the NCAA record books over the weekend against Dartmouth, scoring just 11 seconds into the matchup to record the T-8 fastest goal in NCAA history. Lucia joins former Harvard great Kristin Della Rovere '23 on the list, who also scored 11 seconds into a game against Dartmouth in the 2022-23 season.
 

On Fire

Just over halfway through her first collegiate season, first-year Ella Lucia is beginning to her hit her stride with the Crimson. The Michigan native has recorded a point in her past five games, scoring two goals and notching three assists over the stretch. Lucia became the first first-year to accomplish the feat since Kristin Della Rovere '23, who hit the mark in the 2018-19 season. It is also the longest point streak for the Crimson since Becca Gilmore tallied a point in 10 straight games during the 2021-22 season.  
 

Up Next

Harvard will be back on the road next weekend to complete the four-game road swing with a trip to Brown and Yale. The Crimson will travel to Providence and New Haven, respectively, for its final trip of the regular season. Both matches are set to stream live on ESPN+.
