Just over midway through the first period in the Harvard women’s hockey team’s exhibition game against McGill on Saturday, Jillian Dempsey readied herself for a faceoff in the Martlets’ zone.

The puck dropped, and Dempsey pounced. The freshman zipped a pass behind her to co-captain Kathryn Farni, who found junior forward Kate Buesser streaking towards the net. Buesser went top shelf for the goal, and just like that, Dempsey had her first assist in a Crimson uniform.

There will be more assists for Dempsey, and goals too. But for the Winthrop, Mass. native, that one point in an easy 4-1 Harvard win represents the realization of a dream that’s been a long time coming.
