And to get a grasp on just how important Finn has been to the Harvard women's program, you must understand that not only was she perhaps the best ever women's lacrosse player but also one of the best ever field hockey players.

"Mo always seemed to be there with her reliable, steady stick," Harvard Field Hockey Coach Edie Mabrey says. "She was always the steady influence out there."

The two-year field hockey co-captain and All-Ivy defenseman also donated her efforts to the founding of the Harvard Radcliffe Foundation for Women's Athletics, a support group for women's athletics.

"She was just so special," Mabrey says. "Her support--on and off the field--will never be duplicated."

Pat Horne

People probably won't remember much about Pat Horne. Not that there's not a lot to remember.

The record books will show that the Weymouth, Mass, native garnered All-Ivy honors in softball for two years in a row and that she captained the Crimson's 1982 and 1983 women's basketball teams and the 1983 softball squad.

But Horne never had the luxury most athletes, women athletes in particular, enjoy--playing on a championship team. The closest Horne came to a real winner was last year's 12--7 softball club. And without the winning teams, the psychology concentrator gained little attention.

"It's disappointing that we never really did as well as we thought we could," she says. "The potential was always there, but something always seemed to go wrong."

What went wrong this year was that Horne fractured her hand halfway through the season. Without her aggressive play on the floor, Harvard suffered through yet another disappointing season.

And three weeks into the softball season, Horne moved from the gym to the diamond, where she quickly continued the excellence she had demonstrated her two previous years as the Crimson's third baseman.

"Pat always joined us a few weeks into the season," Harvard Softball Coach John Wentzell says. "But once she came out, she never missed a practice, stayed late at practice and worked the hardest of anyone out there."

Through her quiet leadership, Wentzell says, Horne set an example for the young Crimson squad. But after a quick 5--0 start this year. The batwomen full on hard times---again. The squad ended with a losing record, the sixth out of seven Harvard clubs that Horne has played on to finish below .500.

Through it all, however, the talented All-Ivy third baseman has taken it in stride. "I've been able to do things here that I wouldn't have been able to do anywhere else," she says, explaining the less talented squads have meant more playing time for her.

"And really it's been a lot of fun," she adds. "A little more winning would have made it nicer, but the little things have made it all worth it."
