This season has been particularly rough for Donahoe in more than a physical sense. The Crimson (4-5-1 overall, 2-2-1 Ivy) have been plagued with scoring problems throughout the season, putting more pressure on Donahoe and her defensive comrades. This offensive funk was never more evident than in the Crimson's 1-0 loss to Yale on Monday, a loss which all but knocked the Crimson out of contention for the Ivy crown.

"It's been a frustrating year," she said. "We have the potential to be awesome, but we aren't taking complete advantage of it."

Donahoe sees anxiety as the Crimson's chief malady. "We get going and we realize that we haven't been scoring that much and we get nervous," she said. "We freeze up and we don't play very well. It's sad.

"But it is something that we'll be able to cure," she said. "We've got a lot of young players and I'm sure, with more experience, next year we'll be very good."

But don't think that Donahoe is writing off this season just yet.

"At this point, we can just go out and have fun," she said. "We don't have the pressure to go out and kill ourselves every game."
