...twice in any of its first nine contests. Against Maine, Harvard got on the board quickly, scoring in the third minute. The play started with a precise through ball to sophomore Katherine Sheeleigh, who raced towards the goal and then slotted the ball across the box to freshman Melanie Baskind. Baskind, who leads the team with five goals and fifteen points, one-timed the pass into the side net. Harvard notched another goal in the 25th minute. This scoring sequence was the work of junior Kelli Okuji and sophomore Gina Wideroff. From her defensive position, Okuji beat a Black Bear...
...efforts were saved by Murphy. The Crimson entered the break up 1-0. The opening minutes of the second half were much the same as the first, with Harvard holding more of the possession, but only managing the occasional chance. The complexion of the game changed when freshman Melanie Baskind was switched from her normal forward position to midfield about 15 minutes into the half.“[Baskind] just got the ball a little bit more, so she was more involved in the game,” Leone said of the change.The tactical switch paid dividends, as Baskind...

In the ninth minute of the first half, freshman standout Melanie Baskind hit the crossbar. At the end of the game, sophomore Katherine Sheeleigh ripped a shot off a corner kick that sailed just high. For the future, the team will concentrate on connecting on these chances. “One of the main things is continuing down the end line, not passing...
...offseason and early going in 2008 all point to upward movement in the standings for Harvard. Last year’s talented freshmen and sophomores are a year older and wiser, and Leone recruited a solid crop of rookies—highlighted by early scoring leader Melanie Baskind (three goals, two assists)—to complement the core already in place. Old standbys Erin Wylie (two goals) and Katherine Sheeleigh (one goal, two assists) give the Crimson a dangerous trifecta up top. Still, Mann and her reliable back line will have their hands full with an opportunistic Penn offense...
