Harvard’s other unit—co-captains Cori Bassett and Kathryn Farni, senior Randi Griffin, and juniors Leanna Coskren and Buesser—tallied two power-play goals over the weekend, demonstrating the team’s newfound and balanced man-up success...
Boyle wasn’t the only goalie making her debut in the Beanpot. Harvard’s Laura Bellamy, who took over for injured senior Christina Kessler earlier this season, stopped 15 Eagles shots, including a 5-on-3 BC power play...
