Zotter believes that Larson will be able to earn a WUSA roster spot by distinguishing herself in the smaller training camps.

"I'm totally behind her," Zotter said. "Anyone who'll see her in an intimate environment will pick up on her skill."

Harvard Coach Tim Wheaton is certain that Larson has the skill to play in the league, but her ability to make a roster will depend on how she fits in with what each individual coach wants.

"She's good enough to play," Wheaton said. "But it's the coaches' choice. We're disappointed for Jessie, but we're very happy for Beth and Carrie as well."

Moore, listed as a midfielder and defender on the draft chart, scored 21 career goals in her four-year career at William & Mary before becoming an assistant coach at Harvard.

"She's a really smart organizer," Wheaton said. "She's athletic. She comes forward well, reads the field well, and she's a great one-on-one defender."

Moore played a valuable role this season in furthering the maturity of the younger players on the team.

"She stepped in and played a lot with the kids," Wheaton said. "She played the role of the opposing star in our pre-games. She had a lot of experience, little subtleties that she was able to pass on to our kids. That helped because we were really young this year."
