She is currently the Crimson’s second-leading scorer and is tied for first on the team with three assists.

But among all of her talents, her speed and agility may be the most impressive.

“Danielle is one of the best dodgers on our team,” McMahon said. “She can lull you to sleep and just take off [suddenly]. She’s very deceptive and quick to gain positioning in both the front and the side. If [the opponent] leaves her a gap, she’ll take it.”

Those skills were on full display Friday night, even though Tetreault injured her knee in last Sunday’s game against Virginia.

“She’s a warrior,” Kucharczyk said. “She was running up and down the field and taking the ball to the goal.”

“It was her first day coming back,” Halpern added. “But she was still explosive...She killed it.”

Tetreault’s fight is one of the reasons Harvard has been able to battle back from a number of deficits this season.

“We never give up,” Tetreault said. “We have great coaches. When they see something wrong, they help us slow things down by explaining what needs to change.”

After Harvard barely missed out on last season’s Ivy League tournament, Tetreault feels her squad has matured and is ready to take the next step.

“We’re playing with a lot more experience this year,” Tetreault said. “We’re still a young team, but we have a group of players who have been in similar situations. That helped us step up and turn it around.”

Currently 3-1 in Ivy League play, the Crimson is one win away from clinching a postseason berth—a prospect that has Tetreault and her teammates very excited.

“That’s definitely a huge goal for our team this year,” Tetreault said. “Last year, we were put in a position in which we were relying on another team to beat another team in order for us to get in. Now we’re putting ourselves in control and no longer relying on other teams’ records to make the tournament.”
