Last year, the Harvard women’s golf team relied on a string of individual victories to carry the team to Ivy League dominance. This year, the Crimson still carries the threat of solo wins, but has now bolstered the lineup with more reliable scorers. And while the squad may have slipped a spot from last year’s finish at the Princeton Invitational—second, down from first—this year’s showing offers several clues indicating another successful campaign for the Harvard golfers. Leading the way for the Crimson was sophomore Christine...
...Silva dominated the competition, a trio of Harvard sophomores finished closely behind. Jeanne Mack placed third, while Kailyn Kuzmuk and Nicole Cochran were fifth and sixth, respectively. Such strong performances from the first and second-year runners bode well for Crimson coach Jason Saretsky’s squad. Whereas many freshman athletes experience difficulties transitioning into collegiate sports, Silva displays a confidence in her running that has not gone unnoticed by her teammates. “She is very independent, and she knows what she’s doing,” junior captain Jamie Olson says...

The good news for the Big Green is that its young squad has one more year of experience. Junior wide receiver Tim McManus will again be the top target in the air, coming off a season in which he hauled in 60 catches and earned All-Ivy honors. But the defense, which gave up an abysmal 455 yards a game in 2008, still needs some help...
