This goal was not just Sasner's effort; the shot itself was a wristshot from 15 feet out. The goal was set up by a roller-coaster sequence of events.
Harvard got caught on a line change. Freshmen Mollie Marcoux (M) and Shari Wolkon (W) skated two-on-zero on junior Jennifer White (29). The game could have been over right there, but White came up with a critical save.

The puck wound up on the stick of Julia Trotman (8) who cleared it short of the goal line. Icing was waved off.
Brita Lind (11) gave chase, splitting two Princeton defensemen (D) for possession of the puck. Lind then slid a pass to a trailing Sasner (15) for the goal.
Kudos: To seniors Steve Armstrong and Don Sweeney and sophomore C.J. Young for making the All-Ivy first team. The rest of the first team consists of Cornell's Trent Andison, Chris Norton and Corrie D'Alessie along with John Messuri of Princeton who copped the Ivy Player of the Year.
Other Harvard players making the All-Ivy team were Jerry Pawloski (second team), and Andy Janfaza and John Devin (honorable mention).
Other honors voted by the league's six head coaches went to Peter Ciavaglia and D'Alessio, sharing Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors.
