Friday evening at Bright the USA Selects crushed the Harvard Crimson 0-13.
The Harvard Women received another in a series of lessons on the importance of
skating.  The Selects, gearing up for next weekend's tourney at Concordia,
displayed some excellent passing.

The game started slow with the Americans looking like they had just gotten out
of their cars.  The Crimson, coming off exams, were trying to prepare for Yale
on Sunday and seemed to have their checking schemes in fair order.  Toward the
end of the first, Gretchen Ulion [DC '94] (Wendy Tatarouns [UNH '95]) stuffed
home a chance at the side of the net.  Cindy Curley [PC '87] (Shelley Looney
[NU '94], Sandra Whyte [HU '92]) got the final poke, on a play that went right
up the gut, to make it 0-2 Selects.

In the opening minute of the second period, Whyte (Curley) scored a power play
goal.  The solo move developed when Whyte rolled out of the corner and drilled
her shot in at the far post.  Looney (Ulion) made it 0-4 when she rolled out
of the opposite corner into the high slot and ripped her shot.  Tatarouns
(Michele Amidon [STLU '94], Ulion) continued the wave of USA attackers.  The
1-2-3-4-5-6 play was a lovely series of sharp passes right in front of net.
Stephanie O'Sullivan [PC '95] (Ulion, Tatarouns) slide the puck under the
goalie's pads after a good set-up pass.  The play was made by the strong
corner work of the Americans.  Ulion (Joy Woog [Brown '95]) pulled off a
delicious ooh-la-la play when she snaked her way past the Crimson defenders
and deked the netminder.  Lovely goal!  Curley (Looney) finished the scoring
for the middle stanza when she dropped the puck back to the point.  Looney
drilled her shot, and Curley knifed in front to knock in the rebound.

In the third, Tatarouns used the old roll-out-of-the-corner play to find
herself space right in front of net, and scored to make it 0-9.  O'Sullivan
(Tatarouns) next hit home with a nice 1-2 play that caught the tired Harvard
defense watching.  Amidon (Curley, Colleen Coyne [UNH '93]) finished off a
point shot and a dig for a rebound with the easy tuck.  Looney (Tatarouns)
scored a power play goal when she collected the perfect pass from Tatarouns
and dumped it in the net.  Whyte (Looney) concluded the scoring when she
completed a quick rush by Looney.

We all owe Carl Gray of Assabet a huge thank you for all he is doing for the
USA Women's program.  By helping these talented players find ice time and
matches Team USA Women will be in much better shape for this year's Pacific
Championship, next year's WWC, and Nagano '98.  Merci beau coup coach!  The
Selects did not look as sharp last night as they did in November.  Still they
gave a clinic on how to defeat a tight checking team.  TUSAW used a roll and
go game to pass and skate their way around and through the Harvard Women.  I
also liked the manner in which the Selects spread their attack in the zone.
Erin Villiotte [HU '95] was in goal for the USA and looked steady despite the
lack of work.  Michele DiFronzo [UNH '89], Coyne, Nicole Luongo [UNH --], and
Amidon or Woog shared the duties on the blue line.  The woman of the match was
DiFronzo.  Her breakup plays and touch passes her marvelous.  Last night
demonstrated a much improved DiFronzo whose sharp skating was fun to watch.
Woog played half the match on defense and looked better there.  Her vision is
better employed from a deeper position.  Amidon looked better up front where
she more often found herself in the right place at the right time.  On the
attack, Whyte, Looney, Curley with Woog or Amidon shuffling in were one line.
O'Sullivan, Tatarouns and Ulion were the other line.  Curley looked real good.
The passes and movement she displayed were super.  Curley plays with so much
desire.  It's great to see.  Whyte had a fairly strong skating game.  Looney
was darting around periodically and is one of the forces that holds the team
together.  Tatarouns was the ultimate hold and roll player.  Her skating and
stickhandling were first class.  O'Sullivan also had an excellent evening of
controlling the puck.  Ulion was huge with her sleek moves and dominating
style.  Overall it was a fun night of hockey.

Someone at Harvard did not study hard enough over exam break, as the overuse
of some players and lack of ice time for others is not making it.  Shades of
Harvard Women's hockey past are creeping back into the program.  The Crimson
played much better this time against the Selects.  Their tight checking game
let's them be the "feisty opponent."  However it is difficult to see how they
can improve their game unless the skating is addressed.  First-year players
Jen Gerometta, Kyle Walsh and Alice DuBois continue to impress me with good
skating and tough play.  I believe they could make a fabulous line.  Gerometta
in particular let it all hang out against TUSAW, and acquitted herself very
well.  Jen Bowdoin had some wonderful moments in goal, but was facing superior
firepower.  Holly Leitzes showed her skills well with some hard-nosed defense.
First-year blue liner Olivia Nottebohm stayed with it and provided some good
coverage in her own zone.  She also was able to produce a few breakout moves.
I think this game was a smart tune-up for the Harvard Women.  They should be
ready for the second half of the season.

Saturday afternoon at Matthews Arena the USA Selects beat the Huskies of
Northeastern 1-6 in a sleeper of a match.  Both teams were extremely
lethargic.

In the first period, after some early pressure by the Select Women, Gretchen
Ulion [DC '94] (Stephanie O'Sullivan [PC '95], Yvonne Percy [Assabet]) whacked
the puck into the net.  Wendy Tatarouns [UNH '95] (Ulion, O'Sullivan) made it
0-2 USA.  A length of the ice breakout play caught the Northeastern defense
all chasing the player with the puck.  Ulion's lovely dish left Tatarouns all
on her own.

In the second, Shelley Looney [NU '94] scored a shorthanded goal for the
Americans.  Looney stole the puck from an NU player and raced in on goal
before deking the netminder and tucking home.  The Huskies pulled one back on
a power play when Jessica Wagner (Bree Cheatham, Danyel Howard) took an
excellent pass from the point and stuffed it high into the net.

In the final interval, O'Sullivan (Ulion) made it 1-4 when she drilled home
her own rebound.  Cindy Curley [PC '87] (Colleen Coyne [UNH '93]) scored a
superb solo goal when she took the puck end to end and deposited her
backhander into the net from a wide-angle.  Looney (Sandra Whyte [HU '92])
finished the scoring when she knocked in the perfect return pass from Whyte at
the back door.

The USA Selects were very slow today.  They never got moving.  In goal, Erin
Villiotte [HU '95] was solid in facing some good shots from NU.  Ulion made a
number of splendid passes and showed some good team defensive play.  Tatarouns
also back-checked well and had spells of distinguished skating.  Coyne proved
to me again that she should be a wing.  Some of her passes today were choice.
Looney had some fine speed going for her today, but like the rest of the team
just couldn't quite get it together.  Overall, a disappointing outing.

Northeastern was very intelligent.  They played both their goaltenders, five
defenders and four lines.  If they have injury problems, they will have
players with experience ready to go.  Both Shannon Meyers and Cora Lynn Alvar
played well in net and came up with some big saves.  Missi Werner led the way
on defense with her strong marking.  Keri-Anne Allan also made some quality
breakup plays on the blue line.  Up front the only player that stood out was
first-year center Kathryn Waldo.  Her vision and touch are sublime.  If she
could add some better skating to her game, she could be something else.  While
I think the Huskies used the game well, they should have pushed the Selects a
lot more.
