W. Soccer Opens NCAA Tourney Against B.C.

Moore leads the team with 11 assists, has 17 total points and is part of the Eagles' large pool of underclassmen that are quickly turning into rising stars.

Harvard has its own contingent of rising stars, however, and the Crimson's freshmen members are sure to keep Eagle junior goalkeeper Courtney Schaeffer busy all day long.

Headlined by the scoring duo of forwards Beth Totman and Joey Yenne, the freshmen class has added an incredible scoring punch to an already strong championship defense.

"The freshmen contingent, especially Beth and Joey who've started all season, have been great playmakers and really brought a new style to the team," senior back Gina Foster said.

Totman is second in the Ivy in scoring with six goals and seven assists for 19 points, while Yenne is right behind her with six goals and six assists for a total of 18 points.

However, the forwards will have their hands full facing one of the top goaltenders in the Big East.

Schaeffer, who has been a starter since her freshmen year, has 11 shutouts this season and a goals against average of .779.

Prior to the Big East quarterfinal this season, where Schaeffer was red carded in the 89th minute of a 1-1 tie for handling the ball outside the penalty box and saving the game for the Eagles, Schaeffer had started in 57 straight games for the Eagles. Because of the card, she was forced to sit out the Eagles' next game against Uconn, which the Huskies won 2-1 in overtime.
