Field Hockey Shoots for Top of the Ivy

"Princeton may still be the team to beat, since they have a great recruiting class," Kalil said. "But they are still only ranked No. 15. Our next opponent, UNH, is No.14, so we're taking it one game at a time."

The 1999 season has already begun on a positive note, as Harvard swept its opening weekend of play, blowing out Vermont in its season and home opener 9-1 last Friday, and winning its second contest against Rhode Island 2-1 last Sunday.

Kalil and Schoolwerth led the way on the weekend netting two goals apiece. Kalil also added four assists in the two games and sophomore midfielder Eliza Dick added three goals of her own.

The wins serve as a solid starting point for the Crimson in a season filled with high expectations.

"We've had a great preseason, and are playing quite solidly right now," Kalil said. "We really trust one another out there, and feel good about the upcoming season."
