Athlete of the Week Runners-Up

While Midge Purce's two goals were enough to earn the women's soccer freshman our Athlete of the Week honors, she wasn't the only one to have a stand-out weekend for Harvard.

Raphael Girard, Men’s Ice Hockey

Senior goaltender Raphael Girard of the Men’s Ice Hockey team was simply dominant against Bentley this past weekend, shutting out the Falcons’ offense en route to a 3-0 victory for the Crimson in its season opener. Saturday’s game marked Girard’s third shutout as a Harvard goalie—interestingly enough, his first shutout, which came last fall, was also against Bentley.

Emerance Maschmeyer, Women’s Ice Hockey

It seems as if the men’s and women’s ice hockey teams were both on a defensive roll this past weekend, as sophomore goalie Emerance Maschmeyer of the women’s ice hockey team also posted a career-highlight game, playing a crucial role in the Crimson’s 4-0 shutout of Princeton. Thanks to Maschmeyer’s dominance in front of the net, Harvard has improved to a perfect 2-0-0 for the season. Maschmeyer notched 44 saves, a huge career high, and silenced the Tigers’ offense throughout the game.

Ricky Zorn, Football

While the 51-48 triple-overtime loss to Princeton last Saturday was a tough one for the Crimson to take, senior wide receiver Ricky Zorn put his offensive talent on display once again. Zorn caught eight passes for a career-high 168 yards and a touchdown, including an impressive 33-yard completion in the second quarter off of a Princeton attempt to deflect quarterback Connor Hempel’s pass.
