NEW HAVEN - You walk downstairs, into the basement of Ingalls Rink at Yale University. You head down a blue and white corridor, and turn into the women's hockey locker room. You see a blue rug with a big Y in the middle, and slogans on the wall ("Working Together Is Success"), and shiny wooden cubicles around the perimeter.
You notice that all the cubicles are empty, all but one.
The one that is full belongs to a 22-year-old forward, an economics major with a great gift for passing and an acute shortage of time. Her gloves and helmet are on the upper shelf, bulky pants and a white No. 17 jersey below. Nobody knows if No. 17, Mandi Schwartz, will wear this gear for Yale again, or if she will return for her senior year, or if she will ever marry Kaylem Prefontaine, her longtime boyfriend who recently proposed to her.
