...absolutely amazing,” Harvard coach Ray Leone said. “It happens to every player at different times, and fortunately for us, it happened to her going into her junior year.”But to fully understand how she made her great leap forward, one must first look backwards. Hagner arrived in Cambridge in 2006 as a highly-touted recruit, and by no means was she a bust in her first two seasons.She started every game as a rookie, scoring once and turning in three assists.
