Good things come in threes for the Harvard women's hockey team.

In seniors Caitlin Cahow, Laura Brady, and Brenna McLean, the Crimson has three captains to take over the reins from last year's leaders, Julie Chu '06-'07 and Jennifer Sifers '07.

And, this season, head coach Katey Stone welcomes a trio of new assistants to the bench in Sara DeCosta, Joakim Flygh, and Melanie Ruzzi.

But from the perspective of an opposing team, what might stand out from a Harvard roster deep at almost every position is the triple threat in goal. Junior Brittany Martin and sophomore Christina Kessler, who ended last season with 1.33 and 1.58 goals-against averages, respectively, return from last year's NCAA Tournament team. And keeping them company will be Kylie Stephens, a freshman goaltender from North Carolina who showed a great deal of promise during the preseason.
