Not that those three were the only solid freshmen. In goal, Krein saw almost all of the action, and she came through with a 9-4-3 record and 1.18 goals against average. Rebe Glass and Jessica Henderson also had solid years at fullback.
Not Outclassed
It wasn't only the freshmen who excelled. Morgan and Chelius were rocks with their defensive play. Both earned second-team All-Ivy status.
Noonan and sophomore defender Meg Kassakian also made the All-Ivy second team. (For those of you scoring at home, five of the 11 spots went to the Crimson.)
And next year should be even better. Although the Crimson will lose Chelius, Morgan, Simmons, Libby Eynon and Caroline Schreiber to graduation, a strong core of players are returning. Those players will have a huge appetite that nothing less than an Ivy League title will satisfy.
"We came here, we kicked ass, we should have been Ivy League champs--that in itself is a big step," Simmons said. "It was a fantastic season, and we were a fantastic team."
"Definitely we have a lot of young talent, and definitely we'll have a good future," Glass said. "We have a lot to look forward to in the long run."
