Lamenting Only a Few More Bus Rides

Soccer's Beth Reilly

After Tuesday's 3-1 loss at the University of Massachusetts, Harvard is 4-5-1, but is still alive in the Ivy League race with a 1-1 record.

"Our goal is to win the rest of our games, and I think it's realistic," Reilly says. "I expect that our highlight still awaits. I know there's not much time, but it I think it's still going to happen."

Reilly won't be hanging up her cleats after soccer season. Come February, she will finish knee rehabilitation and assume her duties as third baseman and captain of the softball team.

The respect of Reilly's teammates is reflected by her dual captaincy. "She's the best diplomat you've ever seen," Carls says. "I'd vote for her for any office."

Whether it be soccer or softball, Reilly's dedication to her sports and commitment to her teammates are evident.

"If I don't dive for a ball, if I don't run out a grounder, if I don't give all that I should, I'm not setting an example," she says. "There's no better feeling than coming through for someone who depends on you, and knowing that they'd do the same."
