Last year, Browning compiled a 0.99 goals-against average and a .814 save percentage. Her departure leaves the team bereft of an experienced goalkeeper.

However, sophomore Robyn Scatena and freshman Cheryl Gunther both enter the season with impressive backgrounds. Recently, Gunther has been showing her strong capabilities in the net as she has received a lot of playing time.

In the weekend's games, Gunther played 159 minutes in net and made five saves while allowing just one goal, good for a .833 save percentage and a 0.57 goals-against average.

Scatena was beaten 1-0 at UNH on Wednesday in her first collegiate start.

"Anne was obviously a very special player and a big part of this team, and we, of course, are going to miss her," Harvard women's soccer Coach Tim Wheaton said. "But we're happy with our goalie situation as it stands right now, so we've been able to bounce back from that. Our defense is still very good."

As the soccer team moves on, so do Browning and the Radcliffe crew.

"Rowing requires a certain mentality. You have to trust the work ethic of the team, for there is no individual star," Browning said. "Success is based on the effort of everyone together, and my teammates make sacrifices for the team. No one does anything to potentially harm her performance, and we have a dry season. The connections are built inside the boathouse and on the water, and, as such, we do not spend much time together outside of crew. Rowing is an extreme sport, not a social sport."
