"I was extremely nervous before preseason, but the girls were so welcoming and nice that it didn't take long to feel at ease," Urbanic says. "I never expected to come to this team and have so much success. If someone had told me five months ago that I would be playing on the No. 7 team in the country, I wouldn't have believed them. I think part of the reason we've done so well is team chemistry."

M Amy Cooper

Cooper captained both her soccer and basketball teams as a senior at Richard Montgomery High School in Potomac, Md. Starting for three years primarily as a sweeper or midfielder, Cooper was an All-State and All-South honoree last year.

Freshman year was a good learning experience for her, and with Larson and Foster leaving, she looks to gain significant playing time next season.

"There was great team chemistry this year," Cooper says. "Although there were plenty of voids left by the graduating seniors last year, we stepped up to fill them. The upperclassmen have been great about helping us freshman ease into the college game."

Cooper knows that she and Urbanic will have big shoes to fill at defense next year. They'll look to maintain a backfield that gave up seven goals this season, only three of which came in Ivy League competition.

F Caitlin Butler

Butler played on state-champion teams Winchester (Mass.) High in 1995, 1997 and 1998 and earned All-Scholastic, All-State and All-New England honors in her last two years. She was also named the 1998 NSCAA/Adidas Massachusetts High School Player of the Year and an All-American.

With Totman and Yenne, Butler will form a three-dimensional offensive attack in future years.
