While the Harvard women’s ice hockey team may be
experiencing some unexpected struggles out of the gates, with a
4-4-3 record to start this season, a star and team leader has
quietly emerged in junior defenseman Cori Bassett. The Anchorage,
Alaska native ranks fourth for the Crimson with eight points so far
this season (three goals, five assists) in 11 games played, already
surpassing her six-point output (three goals, three assists) in 34
games played all of last year.
“Bassett has been looked upon to step up offensively this
year,” said Harvard tri-captain Jenny Brine, “and this
has made her an even more exciting player to watch.”
Head coach Katey Stone has noticed Bassett’s improved play
as well, and she attributes the defenseman’s efforts to the
increased “confidence and aggressiveness” Bassett has
displayed on the ice so far this year.
