Field Hockey Looks to Stay Perfect in Ivy, Takes on Cornell

Boutin is second in the league in scoring with 19 points on nine goals and an assist and was named Ivy League player of the week for her performance last Saturday in Cornell's 4-3 OT win over Columbia.

However, Harvard's explosive offense may be too much for Cornell's young sophomore goalie Maureen Sullivan, whose 2.38 GAA is the second worst among starters in the Ivy.

The Harvard offense will be lead by tri-captain Dominique Kalil. Kalil leads the Crimson in scoring with six goals and six assists. Her 18 points ranks fourth in Ivy League scoring.

Leading the charge alongside Kalil will be junior forward Kate Nagle, who has six goals and an assist for a total of 13 points. Nagle has been the team's hottest scorer recently, posting goals in six consecutive games prior to Wednesday's match against Quinnipiac.

The midfield will be lead by junior Maisa Badawy. Badawy has a goal and five assists so far this season, already surpassing her total from last season. Her stellar play has been pivotal to the Crimson's swift transition game.

Harvard's offense, which leads the league with 29 goals, is backed by an equally impressive defense, led by tri-captain Katie Schoolwerth.

Schoolwerth is joined in the backfield by sophomore Katie Turck, who scored her first goal last Saturday, and freshman Katie Scott. The defense has allowed only 13 goals in nine games.
