Going into the 2010 season, Halpern, the reigning Ivy League scoring champion, was supposed to be the centerpiece of a Crimson squad that was expected to contend for one of the Ancient Eight’s four playoff berths.
But rather than letting things go downhill from there, the youthful Harvard team (8-7, 3-4 Ivy) rallied and put together a successful season, finishing just one game short of making the inaugural Ancient Eight tournament.
VanderMeulen, a heavily-recruited attacker, was one of the 10 first-year players who were forced to take on a larger role due to the team’s injuries.
“[The freshmen] came in here, and they knew what was expected of them,” junior Sam McMahon said. “They were not being timid—they were playing like they were seniors.”
VanderMeulen made the largest impact, taking on the role of the team’s top offensive weapon, as the freshman finished with a conference-high 56 goals to go along with 27 draw controls.
