Last Saturday afternoon, an era in Crimson athletics and in women’s sports history came to an end. Carole Kleinfelder, the Harvard women’s lacrosse coach, walked the sidelines for Harvard in her last home game.
Kleinfelder, the winningest coach in women’s lacrosse history with a mark of 252-124-3, announced her retirement to the team before its 12-2 loss to Princeton on March 21. But beyond the numbers of wins, Ivy League titles and even a national championship, Kleinfelder?...
“She’s more than just a coach,” said junior goaltender Laura Mancini. “She cares about all her players, their lives outside of lacrosse, and the team recognizes that.”
Part of the Crimson’s fall from the pinnacle of the Ivy League in the mid-1990s has to do with the changing world of women’s lacrosse. Kleinfelder helped bring about that change but hasn’t enjoyed the results.
The Harvard women’s lacrosse team returns home for its final home game of the season, squaring off against Columbia this Saturday on Senior Day at Jordan Field.
