Saz.
Harvard needed the co-captain on the ice, so she double-shifted with Lind and usual right-wing Julia Trotman for the next minute and a half, then with Karen Carney and Christine Burns.
"I saw the wings coming off the bench and Coach [John Dooley] was waving at me [to stay on the ice] and I couldn't say no," Sasner said.
The improvised Carney-Sasner-Burns trio was on the ice for about a minute when Sasner skated one-on-two into the Princeton zone.
The second-year captain faked left, then right, then lifted a floating wrist shot. The puck hung in the air for what seemed like forever and settled behind Princeton netminder Dodie Colavecchio.
The crowd went wild. Sasner, Harvard's all-time leading scorer, came through in the clutch when almost nobody else had the legs; the teams had skated over 52 breathtaking minutes.
And now there would be more minutes. Nine of them.
There were a couple of Tiger opportunities in the extra session, but White rose to the occasion, getting her leg pads, glove, or even the crook of her arm on some shots.
And then suddenly the puck squirted diagonally across the ice from Harvard's defensive right-wing corner down to its offensive left-wing corner. Two Princeton defenders chased the puck.
And so did former freshman sensation Brita Lind.
"I felt good," Lind said, "[It's] good to make things happen."
Racing with all the fury of an Alberta Clipper breeze, Lind--who hails from Sasketchewan--reached the puck first. Then she dug it out of the corner and waited.
For Saz.
It was a little flip shot from 15 feet out.
It wasn't pretty, but it counted.
And in the same play in a game destined to go down in Harvard legend, two former freshman sensations-turned-upperclassmen showed they were no longer just former freshman sensations.
