Mr. Finn--himself the mayor of the Finn hometown of Malvern, Pennsylvania--has every reason to be proud of his youngest daughter, who has won All-Ivy and All-New England laurels for her skilled field hockey and lacrosse play in her two years as a starter at Harvard, and...
"My sisters always played catch-and-throw, so I picked up lacrosse in fifth grade," Finn says. "My brother was also a real stud--he played everything--so I played basketball and games like that with him and his friends."
Finn was a standout in what she calls her "very sports-oriented high school," where she captained the field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse teams, as well as serving as valedictorian of her class of 370 students.
Recruited in her junior year by lacrosse coach Carol Kleinfelder. Finn was impressed by the way Kleinfelder presented Harvard as a school that combined academic excellence and a strong commitment to women's sports.
When Finn's duties as field hockey captain end in a few months, she plans to play on the successful Kirkland House basketball team and to begin training for lacrosse--a sport she feels she is most gifted in.
