Harvard Women's Soccer to Face Local Rival Boston University

BU also boasts the presence of senior Jessica Luscinski, who was voted as the America East 2010 Striker of the Year for her 12 goals and seven assists last season.

She and Taylor Krebs pace the team with three goals each. Strom has chipped in two this season.

Regardless of whoever is in goal for Harvard, her Crimson teammates will not worry about the goalie situation.

“Right now, all of our keepers are amazing, and so with any of them in net, I would feel completely confident about their abilities,” Urke said.

“Having so many injuries in the past couple games has been tough, but no matter who’s in goal, every single goalie has stepped up to the plate,” Conigliaro echoed.

Recognizing that BU’s two straight losses by no means guarantee a victory tonight, Conigliaro added that “the wins so far have been giving us confidence but we know we still have a hard fight for sure.”

Harvard has seen six different players score goals, demonstrating a well-balanced offense led by co-captain Melanie Baskind, who has scored two goals and assisted on two others. She will certainly be targeted by a Terrier defense that has only allowed seven goals in eight games.

“BU is an awesome team. They’re so well-coached,” Leone added. “I’m just excited for the opportunity.”
