(Bottom) Senior MAUREEN FINN shows the determination that enabled the Harvard women's lacrosse team to take the Ivy crown. The laxwomen dropped a heartbreaker to UMass, 7-6, in an NCA'A quarterfinal game.
As far as Harvard women's lacrosse goes, only one name is important. Or so it seems. What with Francesca DenHartog splashed all over the Harvard record books, it's hard to imagine anyone else could have made a difference.
Unlike most of Harvard's women athletes, DenHartog spent all her energies making just one of the Crimson squads into a winner. While many of her lacrosse teammates were busy playing one, sometimes two, other sports. DenHartog was always preparing for Harvard's lacrosse season.
And as the most potent scoring machine women's lacrosse has ever seen, Finn and DenHartog turned the Harvard program into one of the nation's finest. But DenHartog's flashy style was no match for Finn, whose steady play often went unnoticed.
And to get a grasp on just how important Finn has been to the Harvard women's program, you must understand that not only was she perhaps the best ever women's lacrosse player but also one of the best ever field hockey players.
