W. Soccer To Face Terriers

Having proven its national prowess with six consecutive wins against teams as far away as California and North Carolina, the Harvard women's soccer team will attempt to assert local dominance when it hosts upstart Boston University tomorrow at Ohiri Field.

Unbeaten in the month of October, the Crimson (7-2,2-1 Ivy) has climbed to No. 19 in the latest national poll after falling from the rankings with a mediocre 3-2 record during the month of September.

B.U. (9-5, 5-0 America East) rolls into Cambridge looking to exact some revenge on the Ivy League. The Terriers' 1-0 loss to Princeton on Sunday halted its school record winning streak at seven.

Although Harvard has smothered opposing offenses, allowing just three goals in its past five wins, it will face a stern test in an attack-oriented B.U. squad that features 1999 America East Player of the Year Deidre Enos.

A year ago, Enos recorded 16 goals and 37 points, both single-season records at B.U. This year she leads the Terriers with 10 goals, and in a win over Fairfield on Oct. 4, she moved over the 100 career-point mark.

Harvard, however, does not plan to make any major alterations in order to quiet Enos.

"Coach Wheaton mentioned [Enos] today in practice, but we won't change our game plan to stop her," said sophomore forward Joey Yenne.

Rather, Harvard will stick to the same formula that it has used all season--consistent defense and a multi-faceted offensive attack.
