The ninth-ranked Harvard women’s hockey team, having won the
previous two ECAC Hockey regular-season and Ivy League titles,
looks to continue a tradition of success in the 2009-10 season.
Despite having graduated its top three offensive contributors last
year, the Crimson plans to capitalize on what has always made it
one of the most competitive teams in the nation: speed, creativity,
and grit.
“Our biggest focus is to not focus on what we lost,”
co-captain Cori Bassett says, “but [on] what we have at this
point. It’s hard to look back because we lost an Olympian and
our top scorers. Now, we’re looking for everyone to
contribute offensively and defensively.”
Harvard finished the 2008-09 season 19-10-3 overall with a
disappointing loss to Rensselaer in the semifinal round of the ECAC
tournament. The final outcome left the Crimson counting down the
days until its return to Harvard’s Bright Hockey Center and
another opportunity to make it back to the NCAA Tournament.
