"B.U. isn't a bad team," Miller said. "They have a couple of good players, and they're pretty strong in every position."
Freshman Teresa Petruccelli, the sister of Armando Petruccelli '97, generates the B.U. offense as the center midfielder.
"[Teresa] feeds a lot of people and fires some really accurate balls," said junior Jocelyn Ludwick, who is familiar with both Petruccellis' style of play.
Rodovsky assists Petruccelli as the outside midfielder.
"We need to take [Rodovsky and Petruccelli] out," Ludwick said. "The rest of the team is no better than we are."
Harvard's veteran goaltending, strong defense and versatile offense spotlight many of the strengths that guided the Crimson to a 15-2 mark last year.
"We're tactically and technically sound," Miller said. "We work well together. We have speed, skill, and a lot of heart and desire."
