The Harvard Starters: How They Line Up

May be the biggest surprise about this year's Harvard women's lacrosse squad is the fact that of the three leading scorers who return from last year's squad, two are not currently on the varsity squad. Claire Farley and Alicia Clifton, the second and third leading scorers who return from last years 12-2 Ivy champion squad are currently playing jayvee.

Whether that say, a lot about the Crimson's depth is still unclear, but what is certain is that the Harvard offense is very young. Replacing Farley and Clifton, as well as last year's leading scorer--Maggic Hart--are freshmen Kate Felsen and Cynthia Ersek and sophomore Kedy McBride.

Joining that trio as starter; on offense are Lisa Black, the squad's leading returning scorer, and Blair Wardenburg.

In the midfield area, Andy Mainelli, Ellen Velie, Jennifer Greeley, Bambi Taylor and Trina Burnham will hold the fort.

On defense, it's junior Genie Simmons, and senior Co-Captains Ellen O'Neill and goalie Krickett Johnson.
