Eight Freshmen Bolster 2010 Harvard Field Hockey Roster
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--A group of eight talented freshmen will join the roster of the Harvard field hockey team for the 2010 season, head coach Sue Caples announced Thursday.
The Crimson welcomes four midfielders, two backs, one forward and one goalkeeper to the team. Two players each hail from British Columbia, New York and Pennsylania. One is a Massachusetts native, and the other is from Missouri.
With just two players from the 2009 squad lost to graduation, the Crimson heads into this season with one of its deepest teams in recent memory, 21 players strong. Fifteen of those athletes will be freshmen and sophomores.
