Harvard's women's ice hockey team is playing for the national championship when they face off against the Minnesota Gophers Sunday afternoon in Minnesota.

A reporter from Harvard's student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, joined WBUR's Sharon Brody to talk about the team's chances.

Sam Danello, who is covering the game in Minnesota, says "this final destination appeared improbable, if not downright delusional," after the team's slow start this season.
