The opportunity appeared to have come and gone.
As a freshman on the women's hockey team coming into the 2006-07
season, Christina Kessler, a highly touted recruit out of Oakville,
Ont., was expected to compete for the starting goalie job right
away. But when Kessler arrived at Harvard with torn ligaments in
her knee, then-sophomore Brittany Martin took advantage of the lack
of competition and solidified herself as a mainstay in the net.
Although Kessler healed in time to see game action towards the end
of the season, Martin got the nod during the playoffs and turned in
one of the all-time great performances in Crimson history, making
67 saves in a quadruple-overtime 1-0 loss to Wisconsin in the NCAA
quarterfinals.
