...tallied five out of the 13 goals scored by Harvard this season. Although Harvard’s offense has struggled at times this season, Wylie has been there as a constant to ensure victory. Three of her five goals on the season have been game winners, an amazing stat for any player but unprecedented for a freshman so new to the offense. “[The team] really looks to her as a spark plug,” Odorczyk said, “Even if she’s alone, she can go one-on-one with a defender...

Robinson has no use for modern strategy either. In a sport that touts the trendy Moneyball style of play, in which esoteric statistics guide decisions, Robinson doesn't know OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging, Moneyball's sacred stat) from UPS. "I don't like the computer," he says. "I go with instincts and gut feelings and heart." Entering last weekend, the Nats had won an NL-high 17 one-run games, in which a manager's chess moves have the most impact...
