M. Booters to Take on UConn

Soccer Notebook

Reilly Rosy: Once again, Crimson goaltender Beth Reilly kept her team in the game, registering 13 saves and allowing no rebounds. Brown Coach Paul Pincince called her "the most improved player on the field."

Harvard seems to be starting a tradition of Reillys between the posts. Beth is not related to the men's new keeper, Jamie Reilly, who is taking the place of departed netminder Chad Reilly '89, Beth's brother. Chad is presently playing in England, and lives in the home of men's Captain Paul Baverstock.

Are you getting this down?

Come on, Everybody's Doing It: The Crimson hits Newton tonight to take on Boston College. B.C.'s Alumni Stadium is notorious for its Himalayan Astroturf. The field peaks at the center circle, and slants down towards each goal.

Junior midfielder Sue Carls admitted that the turf is unpopular, especially when it rains. Don't worry, though. To prevent rug burns, Carls said Harvard players would wear Spandex and spread Vaseline on their legs.

"It's no big deal," Carls said about the slime and stretch-pants. "The football players do it, too."
