...becoming captain this, her senior season, make their presence felt each and every game.Senior goalkeeper Maggie Robinson completes the class. During her tenure, she has served as a back-up to now-assistant coach Katie Shields ’06 and current keeper junior Lauren Mann, two of the best goalies in the program’s history. “It’s become a lot easier to be more vocal, to be a leader as a senior,” Robinson said. “It comes naturally.”Once upon a time they were...
...come to an end. On Saturday night, Harvard (3-3-3, 0-1-0 Ivy), for the first time in six games, lost a game. Penn (4-3-1, 1-0-0 Ivy) dominated on the offensive end, putting two of its 12 shots past stalwart Crimson keeper Lauren Mann to secure a 2-0 victory in its Ivy opener. The Quakers looked strong in their first Ivy game as defending conference champions, out shooting Harvard 12-4 and tallying a staggering seven corners compared with just two for the Crimson. This has been an ongoing struggle for the Crimson?...
...recent years, Giedd has shifted his focus to twins, which is why the Manns are such exciting recruits.

By following twins, who start out with identical - or, in fraternal twins, similar - programming but then diverge as life takes them on different paths, he hopes to tease apart the influences of nature and nurture. Ultimately, he hopes to find, for instance, that Anthony Mann's plan to become a pilot and Brandon...

Their mother Nancy Mann, a sunny paragon of patience who has three daughters in addition to the five boys, smiles and rolls her eyes...
...Giedd points out, "made studying healthy kids possible" because there's no radiation involved. (Before MRI, brain development was studied mostly by using cadavers.) Each of the Mann boys will be scanned three times. The first scan is a quick survey that lasts one minute. The second lasts two minutes and looks for any damage or abnormality. The third is 10 minutes long and taken at maximum resolution. It's the money shot. Giedd watches as Anthony's brain appears in cross section on a computer screen. The machine scans 124 slices, each as thin as a dime. It will...
