The important names are right in the program.

For the Tigers: Mollie Marcoux, Sue Finney and Shari Wolkon.

For the Crimson: Julie Sasner, Brita Lind, Jennifer White and Char Joslin.

All seven are either present or former freshman sensations--players who made a sudden impact on the world of Ivy League women's hockey.

Sasner, Lind and Joslin have already nabbed Ivy League Rookie-of-the-Year honors. White and Finney finished close to the top in the balloting in their respective years, while Marcoux and Wolkon are contending for the honor this year.

These seven made an impact on the game right from the opening faceoff in Saturday's Harvard-Princeton showdown at Bright Center. All started the game.

As the game wore on, the freshman sensations became more and more important.

Brita Lind banked the puck off the leg of a Princeton player for an important second-period goal.

Marcoux raced in from the point to give the Tigers an even more important power-play goal in the third.

Joslin didn't have an offensive impact the way she normally does. But on the defensive end of the ice, she broke up rushes and skated and passed with supreme confidence.

And if the Harvard defense broke down, White was there to make saves that bordered on the incredible.

One rush in the third period typified the interaction of the sensations. Marcoux was skating one-on-one against Joslin. Joslin swept the puck off the freshman's stick and it dribbled to White, who slipped the puck out to Lind. It didn't seem fair that so few players could have such a big impact.

Wolkon skated completely around the Harvard defense and worked a pass to Finney who scored to give Princeton a 4-3 lead with under four minutes to play in regulation.

Harvard now needed a goal. Badly.

It was time to rely on a freshman sensation, but this time it had to be a seasoned freshman sensation, one who was not just a flash-in-the-pan, but one who possessed enough consistency to become a sophomore, junior, and senior sensation.
