When Harvard women’s lacrosse coach Lisa Miller learned in January that sophomore Melanie Baskind would be dusting off her lacrosse stick to join the Crimson squad, the third-year head coach understood the level of talent her team was gaining.
Baskind’s decision came as pleasant news for Miller, who was familiar with Baskind’s days at Framingham High School, where the 5’3” midfielder was twice named an All-American in lacrosse and was considered by some as the top lacrosse...
That all changed in January when, just weeks after completing a standout sophomore soccer season which landed Baskind a spot on the All-Ivy Second Team, she chose to join Miller’s team.
The sophomore picked up right where she left off, starting at midfield for the Crimson in all 15 games and finishing the season second on the team in scoring with 32 goals and first on the team in ground balls and caused turnovers.
“In the beginning, we had heard about [Baskind], but we didn’t really know who she was,” freshman Jennifer VanderMeulen said. “The second she stepped on the field, we had an instant respect for her.”
