Senior Salute
Saturday’s game is the final Ivy League home contest for
senior co-captains Kristin Bannon and Elizabeth Goodman-Bacon, who
will be honored before the game. Bannon has started each of the
last three years in the Crimson midfield while playing a key role
inserting penalty corners. Goodman-Bacon has been a four-year
starter, contributing at midfield and back.
Last Time Out
No. 9 Boston College scored three goals in less than three minutes
to take control of Wednesday’s crosstown, interleague matchup
against Harvard. Chloe Keating scored the Crimson’s goal on a
deflection of a Georgia McGillivray shot, and Cynthia Tassopoulos
made 10 saves. Pilar Mayora made her team-leading fourth defensive
save in the first half.
Crimson Capsule
Chloe Keating’s goal against the Eagles was her team-leading
ninth of the season. She also paces the Crimson with 23 points and
shares with Carly Dickson the team lead with five assists. Keating
also leads Harvard (5-9, 2-3 Ivy League) with three goals in league
play. Dickson, Allie Kimmel and Elizabeth Goodman-Bacon have scored
two goals each against Ancient Eight opponents.
History Lesson
Harvard limited Dartmouth to just one penalty corner, but a late
penalty stroke by the Big Green’s Chelsea Dodds was the lone
goal in last year’s meeting. The Crimson had won the previous
two meetings.
Scouting the Big Green
Samantha McPherson and Kelly Hood each scored twice in a 6-3 win
Wednesday at
Massachusetts. The Big Green (8-7, 3-2) has Ivy wins against
Brown, Penn and Columbia and has suffered league losses to
Princeton and Yale. Hood leads the team with 16 goals and 40
points.
Around the League
This week’s Ivy League contests are spread throughout the
