Reidy is still listed behind sophomore Geoff Fletcher on Harvard's tentative depth chart, but the word is he'll start at halfback against Dartmouth this Saturday at the Stadium...
...Crimson's lone tally came in the middle of the second half, closing the UMass margin to 2-1. Junior halfback Sue Carls passed to Weinstock on the left wing. Weinstock dumped the ball off to Johnston at the top of the penalty box. Johnston cut around the defender and blasted the ball into the upper right corner of the net for her sixth goal of the season, breaking a personal seven-game scoring drought...
...over Lafayette last week, but he has passed for only 346 yards and two touchdowns this season. The junior signal-caller has also thrown eight interceptions. The Cornell offense is geared around the ground attack of fullback John McNiff (58 rushes, 254 yards), halfback Rob Buccini (30--109) and Cochrane (18--71). The Crimson defense has had trouble stopping the rush this season, allowing an incredible 240 yards per game on the ground at a clip of 4.7 yards per carry...
Restic likes to run the ball--and against the Big Red, it's probably the best strategy--but his 1989 Crimson squad has had a nonexistent running game, at least since halfback Jim Reidy went down with an ankle injury three weeks ago. Amazingly, Reidy is still the club's leading rusher (28--166), despite missing three of the club's first four games. The senior running back made the trip up to Ithaca Thursday and is listed as questionable for today's game...
Harvard kept the pressure on before halftime. Halfback Chris Biggs dusted a defender, drove to the baseline and nailed a perfect cross to Johnston, whose header sailed over the goal. Then Johnston unloaded a shot from 20 yards that UConn keeper Amy Miller handled cleanly. At intermission, Harvard still trailed, with no goals and plenty of missed opportunities to its credit. The Crimson never threatened again...
