...While the Crimson's fifth consecutive defeat to then-No. 1 Dartmouth on Nov. 18 in Botterill's first game back was a setback, momentum turned back in Harvard's favor the next weekend, when Shewchuk passed A.J. Mleczko `97-`99 as the Crimson's all-time leading goal scorer. She would also break Mleczko's school records for assists and points before the end of the season...
...Crimson's next big win came a week later against then-No. 2 Brown on the strength of a game-winning goal from sophomore second-line winger Tracy Catlin.

It was the third consecutive year that Botterill had scored in overtime to defeat Northeastern en route...

Stewart, who registered more points this year than in her first three seasons combined, tallied both goals in the Crimson's thrilling 2-1 overtime victory...
