With the uncertainty surrounding the hiring of Arizona State’s Ray Leone as the new head coach of women’s soccer, a new development has unfolded that will bring a familiar face back to Ohiri Field. Last Monday, Leone announced former Harvard goalkeeper Katie Shields ’06 as assistant coach of the soccer team effective as of this weekend.

...NCAA Tournament, I’ve felt entirely cut off from sports’ most original and passionate event – a three-week odyssey into the quintessential euphoria and tragedy of athletics.

...gaining speed and skill to become valued employees. Much of their earnings were sent home to families in Mali - among the poorest countries on earth - but Montfort's Malians kept enough to be able to fully participate in municipal life. They rented homes in town, played for the local soccer team and coached its youth squads; learned to read and write, and improved their French; participated in town activities and festivals, and hosted and accepted dinner invitations with fellow Montfortais. Deportee Sidy Coulibaly had lived with a young local woman for three years, and who is five months pregnant with...
