As expected, such talented opponents have created a barrage of shots, and Tassopoulos has been forced to respond. The rookie has amassed 99 saves for an average of 8.25 per game, up from Harvard’s 5.41 a year ago and good for 9th in the nation. Tassopoulos has even notched 23 saves in a single contest, at then-No.5 Connecticut on Sept...
