Watching Brown's Darcy Fernald and Cheryl Stahl battle Gregg in tonight's game will be interesting. These two Bruins' unsportsmanlike actions in Saturday's game have definitely been the exception rather than the rule in this season's women's soccer action. Will it happen again?

Fernald should have been kicked out of the game, but unfortunately she times her cheap shots for when the refs look the other way. A real pro. Let's hope for good, clean--but still hard, tough--soccer tonight. The opening round of the Easterns shouldn't be any other way.

In women's soccer tournament action, if the game goes into sudden death overtime, goalies are eliminated, or rather, the goalies lose use of their hands. Should that happen tonight--and with these two teams it is certainly a possibility--then Gregg will play goal for the Crimson.

If it sounds impossible for a goalie to be without her hands, you should have seen the defensive play that wing fullback Gately made for Harvard in the tournament game against Brown.

With the Crimson holding a 1-0 lead late in the first half, Harvard goalie Ann Diamond had to leave the net to meet an on-rushing Brown player. The Crimson keeper got to the ball first, but it squirted loose and onto the feet of another Bruin forward, who got off an excellent shot, hard and right on the open net. A sure goal.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, came a diving Gately, heading the ball wide and over the endline. It was the defensive play of the tournament, and maybe the play of the year.
