With this combination of the right attitude and great play, Asano believes her Ivy League swan song will be sweet music.
"These games really matter to me," Asano said. "If we weren't as successful as we had been, this would be the end of it all. Part of me is sad about finishing. Still, I'm just excited to finish the regular season and be playing in a situation where every game will be so competitive."
With the ECACs lying dead ahead, Asano may just get her wish.
