This past weekend, Raimondi stepped up and proved how valuable she is to Harvard with a goal at the end of regulation and another one with one second remaining in overtime to earn the win against Clarkson and seal a home playoff series—Raimondi and her fellow seniors’ last games in Bright Hockey Center. “I’ve settled into a different style of play this season,” Raimondi says. “Everything...
