Just 62 seconds later, the Terriers struck back as their captain. Deb Gautreau, look the puck from her own blue line stated deep into the Crimson zone, and beat Harvard goalic Cheryl Talc from a near-impossible angle...
Conservative is a relative term. "They wanted me to be a New York deb, but it was only for one night," Mimi Martin says, as she waits for her guests to arrive at the Brook Hollow Golf Club.
