Tomorrow afternoon, Jordan Field will be turned into a shooting gallery as the big guns on the Harvard field hockey team duel with No.13 Boston University.
The Crimson (8-3, 3-1 Ivy) looks to have its hands full against BU. The Terriers (12-2) sit alone atop the America East Conference and pack one of the most explosive offenses in the northeast.
With four of the conference's top six scorers in the lineup, the BU is averaging more than four goals per game, and have scored 58 times in only 14 contests.
A major reason for the Terriers offensive prowess this season is the play of sophomore scoring sensation Jane Rogers.
Rogers, a transfer student from Northeastern, leads the conference in scoring with 10 goals and six assists for 26 points.
Netting her first career hat trick in the Terrier's 5-0 rout of Hofstra last Sunday, Rogers earned America East Rookie of the Week honors.
It was the third time this season Rogers was honored by the America East Conference. Rogers was previously named Rookie of the Week in early September, and honored as last week's top player.
Rogers is joined up front by senior forward Daniele DeCoste. DeCoste is third in the conference in scoring with nine goals and seven assists for 25 points, and scored the game winner in the Terriers' narrow 2-1 conference win over No.19 New Hampshire this past Wednesday.
