Berkery has been working her magic on the lacrosse field since her freshman year at Wellesley High School, but the three-time first team All-Ivy selection began her lacrosse days in the unlikely position of stopping shots instead of taking them.
Berkery has played for Harvard (incredibly, the only college that recruited her for lacrosse) since her freshman year, when the team defeated Maryland 8-7 for an NCAA crown, Berkery asserted herself as a precious freshman when she scored the tying goal to cap Harvard's amazing comeback.
But it's easy to get lost in the jungle of numbers that Berkery has created in then four years of success on the lacrosse field.
This year, teammates say, as one of the Crimson's co-captains, Berkery showed how much that poise she displayed as a freshman is inherently a part of her character and makes her such an effective field general in lacrosse games.
"As a captain and a senior you kind of feel that it's your team," Berkery says. "My lacrosse experiences here have been by for the most important for me. The teams I've played on have always been so close."
