I was reaching to remember what it was like to be on the game field at Harvard. Stauffer did what she could to combat that, which included some early-summer workouts with the U.S. National Team, and playing in the highly competitive Adidas league in Portland, Maine. It's so intense and fast-paced. Each team can play such a different system. I've had to work hard at trying to integrate myself back into our system.
All indicators show that integration was a success.
Stauffer scored the team's first goal of the year against UNH and assisted on the other two Crimson tallies in a 3-0 win over the Wildcats. We have always been confident in our talent, but we were trying more complex things at that point than we were capable of. In our game against Boston College, we really looked like the team at the end of last year. We've continued to move in that same direction. We are playing with determination and smarts.
