F Beth Totman

With six goals and seven assists, Totman's 19 points led the Crimson this fall. A 5-6 forward from New York, Totman was a four-year starter for Southside High School, the three-time state champions.

She was a Parade All-American and the 1998 NSCAA/Adidas New York High School Player of the Year. She played along teammate and fellow freshman Cheryl Gunther on the Northport Piranhas, National Club Champions in 1997 and 1999.

Despite these accolades, Totman still faced a tough adjustment to the college game.

"It was a rough preseason since all of us had never gone through such arduous training before," Totman says. "I had to adjust a little physically. Every practice we had, everyone went all out and tried their hardest, and I

wasn't used to the consistency. On club, you show up to practice and goof

around with your teammates, but here you have to focus when Tim is coaching."

One of the invaluable ingredients that helped Totman and her classmates adjust to the college game was the senior guidance provided by teammates like Larson and Zotter.
