Something's Gotta Give: Unbeaten Laxwomen, Terrapins Meet Today

Instead, the points have been more evenly distributed throughout the attack with senior Becky Gaffney, senior Buffy Hansen, and sophomore Sarah Downing all jumping into the scoring column with a vengeance.

"Sarah is coming along well, Buffy just keeps chipping away--and we need more of what Becky Garrffney gives us."

Freshmen Solid

As Harvard heads into the second half of its season, the positive development of the team's freshman bodes well. Sarah Winters and Megan Colligan have both played well when given the opportunityorce of Adelphi.

The Crimson has been playing with much more confidence lately. (Remember a four-goal explosion in the fourth quarter against Dartmouth?)

"We've definitely been playing with a lot more poise and confidence," Harvard Assistant coach Scott Hiller said.

The Crimson will need all the confidence it can muster if it is to defeat a Panther team with many serious scoring threats.

Lots of Guns

Adelphi is led by sophomore John Calabira who has tallied 25 goals and six assists against powerhouses like Maryland, Syracuse and Brown.

Calabira isn't alone on the field, though.

More important to the Panthers, however, is the playmaking abilities and leadership skills of senior Tom Aiello, who has seven goals and a team high 21 assists.

Last year Aiello scorched the Crimson with three goals and five assists.

"We're going to try to shut down Aiello and see what happens from there." Hiller said.

Keep Up the `D'

Harvard has gotten extremely solid play from its experienced defense all season, the latest example against Dartmouth, where the Crimson held the Big Green to just four goals.
