The biggest goal-scorer of Harvard's 1997 quarterfinal run, Erin Aeschliman, is still on the team. Between taking a year of in 1998 and an ACL injury in 1999, Aeschliman hasn't seen much playing time since she scored twice in a first round Crimson victory over UMass and then assisted on the game-winning triple overtime goal against George Mason in the second round.
But she finally found her name on the scoreboard again this weekend, assisting on Meredith Stewart's game-winning goal against Penn.
Aeschliman's re-emergence, combined with the return of sophomores Beth Totman and Cheryl Gunther from injury, will be key if Harvard will ever be able to re-capture or surpass its success from 1997.
