"It's a very large adjustment going onto grass," tri-captain netminder Anya Cowan said. "We can't wait for the ball to come to us because it's going to move a lot slower, and you can't carry the ball very easily. We're going to have to take our chances passing a lot."

The grass surface may also pose a problem for Cowan, a three-time All-Ivy selection and last week's Ivy League Player of the Week.

Despite a league-leading save percentage of .859, Cowan has traditionally had trouble on grass surfaces where the ball has a tendency to take unexpected bounces.

To go along with a slew of potential problems faced by playing on grass, the Crimson has had difficulty winning against weaker teams all season.

Last week, Harvard played one of its worst games of the season against 6-12 Providence, while earlier in the year, Harvard struggled to a 1-0 victory over Quinnipiac (10-9), the tournament's No.4 seed.

Barring a major upset on either side of the draw, however, Harvard should get a chance to redeem itself in the finals against Dartmouth.

"I think we're all out for revenge on Sunday against Dartmouth," Cowan said. "They shouldn't have won two weeks ago--we gave it to them. They're not nearly as skilled a team as we are, and we're looking to prove it to them."

If Harvard can come away with a victory over Dartmouth in the finals, it will be the team's first ECAC Championship since 1991 and would be the highlight of three amazing careers for Cowan, Kalil and Schoolwerth.
