...consistent defensive player in her four years on the varsity squad, but it is her powerful hitting that has earned her the spotlight this week. With two home runs in four Ivy games, Abeles lifted Harvard (11-17, 4-0 Ivy) past the defending conference champion Cornell and broke open the game against Yale last Saturday...
