On the other end of the ice, Crimson sophomore netminder Alison Kuusisto will start for the first time this season. Kuusisto, who posted a perfect 11-0 record in 1998-99 including wins in the Beanpot and AWCHA championship games, replaces senior goaltender Crystal Springer, who is out for at least a month with a sprained knee.
"Nothing much has changed since last year for me," Kuusisto said. "I've never played against Dartmouth, so I need to go out there prepared for anything. Everyone on the team is confident in each other's abilities, and I'm really excited to get out there again."
