For the women's hockey team, the last borne game of the season, against the University of Vermont Catamounts, was naturally an im- portant affair. The players, espe- cially graduating seniors Lydia Tower and Joanna Montague, wanted to shake off a discouraging 9-1 loss to Middlebury the day be- fore. The Camels wanted to gi ve everything they had to put a strong finish on their inaugural year and reward the fans for their loyal sup- port.
