SEASON RECAP: Harvard Starts Strong, Falters Late

Small field hockey squad looks to future after rough end to the conference season

Three Harvard players scored five goals of their own to tie for second on the team, but the Crimson never scored more than four goals in a single game during the fall.

Co-captain Kristin Bannon and sophomore rising co-captain Carly Dickson shared the team lead in assists with seven.

Despite its difficult finish, Harvard holds high hopes for next season.

Caples noted that eight rising freshmen will join the team in the fall.

“There will be competition for positions,” she said. “It will really make a difference on how we keep players healthy [and] how we’re able to press.”

Warren shared this optimism for the upcoming season, and like her coach, she praised the incoming freshman class and the role she expects them to play.

But she said that Harvard’s spring season will also be a factor heading into the 2010 campaign.

“I think we did a great job as a whole team this spring just going after it and working as hard as we can and improving as much as we can,” Warren said.
