When asked about it, Milhollin also commented on the negative connotation...
...sense, the record elucidates a problem with the Harvard field hockey team--it gives up too many shots. Last year, Milhollin broke the Harvard single-season save mark with 202, and the team went 6-9. Those two facts are not unrelated...
...same time, don't think that Milhollin was ambivalent to the mark. Before the Providence game, she jokingly complained that she had at least five saves against UConn that the official scorer didn't count, which would have put her over the top. True, lighthearted comments such as these are nothing new to Milhollin--one wonders if her mouth is capable of not smiling--but deep down, she is proud of the record...
That is what the record stands for at its most basic level. Jessica Milhollin has prevented more goals than anyone else...
...could try to use it as evidence for arguing Milhollin's place among great Harvard goaltenders of the past or for some other thesis-length hypothesis concerning goaltending styles, grass field vs. astroturf or whatever. But these are all corollaries...
