...with energy and rhythm that had not been evident in the opening period. Dartmouth had the first opportunity to score, but the Crimson counterattack actually broke through. Senior forward Jennifer Raimondi led a charge up the ice, and after a failed attempt to convert the breakaway, an errant shot by junior winger Katie Johnston was put home by Brine to give Harvard a 1-0 lead.“[Brine’s] in the right place,” Stone said. “She’s a very smart player and knows how to anticipate where...
