Mai Goodness

Freshman midfielder Mai Le played on an Ivy League-winning team this year, but she isn’t the first in her family to do so. Her mother led Harvard to Ivy titles in the late ’70s and early ’80s and still holds program records.

ZACH ATTACK

Through nine games, freshman running back Zach Boden has exceeded expectations, rushing for five touchdowns and 464 yards.

THE DIVING BELL-AMY

Shown here in earlier action, junior goalie Laura Bellamy recorded a shutout Friday evening against Colgate in Hamilton, N.Y., where a short-handed Crimson squad scored 42 seconds into the game and did not look back on the way to a 2-0 victory. Bellamy’s goals-against average fell to 0.66, among the nation’s best.

CAMERON CROWE

Harvard freshman Hillary Crowe, shown here in previous action, tallied a power-play goal in the second period to cut the Crimson’s deficit to just one goal, but host Cornell scored two more in the final frame to pull away to a 5-3 win Saturday evening in Ithaca, N.Y., to hand Harvard its first loss.

Kant Cry

Recruiting Frenzy

Rookie Temi Fagbenle (center) was the most highly-touted recruit in recent memory for the Harvard women's basketball program.

Mel-anoma

Co-captain Melanie Baskind paces the Crimson with eight goals and as many assists so far this season. Baskind and the Crimson seek retribution against crosstown rival Boston University in the first round of the NCAA tournament after falling to the Terriers, 3-0, earlier in the year.

Hallio-ween

Lindsay Hallion '08, shown above, and Juanise Cornell are two new recruits Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith picked up—but for her coaching staff.
