While Mosier was playing for the first time since freshman year, Treadway is enjoying a rookie season that he hadn’t expected to exist in the first place.

“It has been a huge surprise because I came to Harvard thinking that I wouldn’t even play soccer,” Treadway said. “Then I heard about JV tryouts and remembered how much I loved playing soccer growing up, so I tried out.”

From there, fate seemed to take over, as with Mosier. Treadway is still starting all the junior varsity games but now moonlights as the third-string varsity goalie, although he has yet to play a single minute.

There’s no denying that Treadway has been thrown into the life of Harvard athletics. Yet he denies feeling overwhelmed by such unexpected circumstances.

“I haven’t felt any pressure being a freshman,” said Treadway. “Any pressure that I have felt has come from the adjustment that I’ve had to make having had a lot less soccer experience growing up than the rest of the kids on the team have had.”

Unlike the majority of players on the team, Treadway never played club soccer, instead deciding to focus on his commitments to schoolwork and his high school team. But his pressure-free attitude has helped him settle into his new role.

“Being new to a whole group of guys who are close friends is tough,” said Old. “But he’s fit in.”

In fact, the best way to sum up Treadway’s attitude has been thankful.

“I love going to practice every day,” Treadway said. “Ryan, Russ, and Jamie have all been really helpful in teaching me so I can get better. It’s just starting to pay off right now as I find myself getting much more consistent.”

And while his netminding is becoming more consistent, Harvard hopes that its goalie situation remains constant for its last three games of the year.
