The junior missed the first nine games of Harvard’s season. But when she returned in the squad’s Nov. 25 matchup with Dartmouth, Ryabkina reminded the Crimson just how much it had missed her.
With 3:29 to play in the contest, Ryabkina tipped in a shot off the stick of rookie Josephine Pucci, giving Harvard a 3-2 win over its conference rival.
Despite missing the first month of the season, Ryabkina finished third on the team in points (22) and was second only to Buesser in goals with 15. She was also nominated for the Patty Kazmaier Award, given annually to the best player in college women’s hockey.
Ryabkina’s best performance came in the Beanpot, where she lit up Boston College in the first game with a career-high four-goal performance, including a natural hat trick in the third period.
She then scored the game-winner in the championship matchup with Northeastern, giving Harvard all the offense it would need in its 1-0 victory and earning tournament MVP honors in the process.
