“[Ahn and McDavitt] both just see the field,” said captain Katie Scott. “They must break it down in some way so they can see really good passes. They have great stickwork so they can dribble through a lot of people and make the great pass.”

The duo also earned first-team All-Ivy honors. Scott, a back, was named to the second team, as were sophomore midfielder Shelley Maasdorp and junior goalkeeper Katie Zacarian. Jen McDavitt and sophomore midfielder Kate Gannon earned honorable mention selections, meaning that the Crimson’s entire starting midfield was recognized.

Harvard graduates just two seniors, Scott and forward Philomena Gambale.

With so much returning talent, the team is looking for even greater success in the fall.

“Tournament experience is really great. We love being here and we’re going to be right back in this position next year,” said Zacarian, who led the Ivies in goals-against average and shutouts.

“And we’re going to go far. We’re going to go real far.”
