Although the Harvard field hockey team (6-11, 2-5 Ivy) met a disappointing end in 2005, three Crimson players now have reasons to do a bit of postseason celebrating. Captain midfielder Jen McDavitt was unanimously named first-team All-Ivy League this past week, while senior back Beth Sackovich and freshman goaltender Kelly Knoche were each awarded second-team status. McDavitt paced Harvard this year with 12 points on four scores and four assists. The designation marks the second straight year she has been recognized among the Ancient Eight elite. As a sophomore, she was named to the second...
...hard we have been working,” senior forward Beverly Ting said. “It was satisfying to be rewarded for that.” Harvard drew first blood in the contest. After controlling play in the offensive circle, the ball came to senior midfielder Jane Sackovich, who sent a well-placed shot past Lions goalie Gena Miller for a 1-0 lead 13:46 into the contest. Miller would finish the game with three saves. “Jane had the ball near the top of the circle and the defense dropped off her for a second...
...game wasn’t great. To Dartmouth’s credit, they played a great game.” Harvard opened the scoring early in the first half. A series of passes created a breakaway opportunity on the right side of the field. Senior midfielder Jane Sackovich fired a shot deflected by a Big Green defender.

The Crimson advantage proved short-lived, however. A little...
...coast, feeding penalty corners, and scoring the Crimson’s only goal. Her coach, Sue Caples, would gladly note that her 1-0 game-breaker, good through half-time, was one of the few times Harvard has led at intermission against any opponent this year. Senior Jane Sackovich did her part to sacrifice her body, laying out on the turf of Jordan Field over and over again, seemingly knowing that this would be her final opportunity to do what nearly three generations of Crimson field hockey had been unable to achieve. And sophomore Siobhan Connolly was stellar between...
...Princeton-Harvard field hockey game is always one of the premier sporting events of the fall. Both clubs boast impressive programs, and the game often determines the Ivy championship. In 2004, the Crimson, then undefeated in the Ivies, grabbed a 1-0 lead on a goal by midfielder Jane Sackovich with 18:55 remaining in the game. The game, and potentially the league title, seemed to be securely in Harvard’s grasp, but in the last three minutes of the game, the Tigers scored twice to snatch a 2-1 victory. While the Crimson had the last laugh...
