Corriero agreed in full with her coach. Without making excuses, she spoke plainly and even took responsibility for most of the team’s distraction.
“I think everybody was trying to get me the puck or trying to set me up,” she said. “Overall, we were working hard, but we needed to execute what’s best for the team, not what’s best for an individual player, whether it’s me or anyone else for that matter.”
Corriero pulled through, rising to the occasion not only to break the record, but also to lead her team to victory once more. For her efforts, her name sits atop the goals-scored record for the time being.
But her reward is staying focused on what she’s been playing for all season long—not breaking records or scoring goals, but winning games and ultimately, a championship.
“From here on out, it’s not about goals. It’s about playing Harvard hockey.”
