In Harvard, which two days ago socked the University of New Hampshire, 5-0, Kostic will get her wish.

While Brown will have to worry about Landry on offense-Scalise says he expects the Bruins to double team his offensive star just like every other team has done this year--it will also have to contend with Whitley.

The Harvard record for shutouts in a season was set in 1979 when Wendy Carle and Barb Mahon teamed up for eight, but even they were unable to string together more than two in a row. Whitley, a member of the under-19 girls national team, has hardly broken a sweat in her four straight shutouts.

So all that's left for the coaches to do is to send the teams onto the field. A terse Brown Coach Phil Pincince, would only say that "It should be a very good game."

Scalise, whose squad some consider a slight underdog to the two-time defending Ivy champs, is a little more confident. "We have a tradition of rising to the occasion when we're underdogs," he says.

Now they'll also have to do it in a very key game.
