...shined with 111 saves before succumbing to a late-season injury, the defense in front of him struggled to play a full 60 minutes. In a heated contest against Princeton, the defense squandered a late four-goal lead by giving up six scores over the last 19 minutes. The defeat was one of four single-goal losses over the course of the season. Luckily for the Crimson, youth become veterans, and next year’s squad will feature a number of them, as the team is losing no starters to graduation. “Our age was definitely...
...representative in the NCAA tournament. Facing off against the Big Green in New York City, Harvard fell behind by 18 points in the second half and, despite pulling to within four with a minute to play, couldn’t come all the way back in a 68-62 defeat. Junior Emily Tay (an All-Ivy First Team pick) led the team with 22 points, and Hallion added 18 in her final collegiate game.

The defeat at Dartmouth marked the first of a seven-game Ivy losing streak that would strip Harvard of its chances to nab the top spot. Perhaps the most disappointing defeat of the season came in the sixth game of the streak, as the Crimson wasted a strong first-half performance against eventual...
...whom Harvard would later beat again in the decisive game of a three-game series in the first round of the ECAC tournament. Though Harvard’s players may have saved the season on the ice, Donato’s daily influence helped the Crimson turn frustration at defeat after defeat into focus and determination. For Donato’s fifth season, this year’s glimpses suggest that more milestones lie ahead for a coach whose team has proven it can fight through adversity. —Staff writer Robert T.
