Harvard freshmen have earned four of the five Ivy League Rookies of the Week honored this year. Outstanding goaltender Cheryl Gunther and forward Orly Ripmaster both notched one acknowledgement, while Joey Yenne nabbed her second, after a phenomenal performance against Butler last weekend.

Yenne exploded with a pair of goals against the Bulldogs, both of which came within three minutes of each other early in the second half to ensure Harvard's eventual victory, 4-1.

And with the numbers Gunther is posting this season, she has played more like a seasoned veteran than a green recruit. Gunther has occupied the top spot in Ivy League goaltending for most of the fall, with a save percentage of .857 and a 0.51 goals against average.

With her shutout against Miami last weekend, she has posted four shutouts in her past five appearances between the posts.

"Cheryl is, I think, the third keeper in the nation in terms of goals let up for minutes played," Moore said. "I have all the confidence in the world in our defense, and not many shots are going to get by. But if they do, Cheryl will be able to handle them."

With the depth of the young rookie talent on the Crimson, it can be easy sometimes to overlook the perennial contributors to Harvard's success. Unless, of course, they, too, have stellar weekends, much like Moore and co-captain Jessica Larson.

Moore, with six points on the weekend, was the Crimson's star in Miami, assisting on the game-winner against Butler, and scoring a second goal to seal Harvard's victory, 2-0. She added another goal and an assist against Miami last Sunday.
