Last Time Out
Elizabeth Goodman-Bacon scored the only goal of the game to lift
the Crimson past Cornell Saturday in Ithaca, N.Y. Carly Dickson
picked up the assist after passing the ball to the right post for
Goodman-Bacon to tip in. Cynthia Tassopoulos made eight saves, four
in each half, and earned the first shutout of her career.
Drama Queens
Three of Harvard’s four Ivy League games have been decided
by a single goal, including an overtime win on a Chloe Keating goal
Oct. 3 against Brown and last week’s 1-0 victory.
Crimson Capsule
Cynthia Tassopoulos was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week Oct.
13 and followed her award-winning performance with an even better
week that included 12 saves against Boston University and a road
shutout of Cornell. Tassopoulos began the week ranked ninth
nationally with 8.25 saves per game. She owns a .744 save
percentage and, and her next save will be the 100th of her season
and her career.
On the other end, Chloe Keating leads Harvard with eight goals and 21 points. Her five assists are good for a share of the team lead alongside Carly Dickson. Emma Keller and Allie Kimmel have scored four goals each.
Scouting the Tigers
After dropping a game to No. 1 Maryland, Princeton bounced back to
beat American, 3-2, and Brown, 5-1, in its last two contests. The
Tigers’ offense is led by Kathleen Sharkey, who has 13 goals
on the season. She and teammate Katie Reinprecht each have eight
assists. In goal, Jennifer King boasts a 1.24 goals-against average
and .745 save percentage. Princeton needs a win and a Yale loss
tomorrow at Penn to clinch a share of the Ivy League championship.
