And with Keffer at the team's helm, must year should be even brighter for the cadgers.
"This year we could do a lot better, but we known in the next years we'll do lot better," Keffer forecasts.
Nespoli agrees "She should really in the next three years help turn the program around," she says "She'll be a big help in making Harvard into a contender in the next few years."
As far changes next year. Dclancy Smith hopes only that Keffer, a silent leader, becomes a vocal player. "I would like her to he about 400 times moral verbal, and I am not exaggerating," Dclancy Smith says.
Verbal or not, Keffer will be around for those and a hall more years. While the Crimson is not likely to challenge seriously for the Ivy crown this year, the next ten years may bring such a contender.
And you can bet that when it come, an experienced Barb Keffer will be the helm of that contender.
