Predun Injured

Junior midfielder Peter Predun, a first-team All-American candidate and probably Harvard's top lacrosse player, suffered a broken right thumb in the Crimson's thrilling overtime victory over Brown on Saturday and will probably be lost for the season.

Predun, who earned third-team All-American and second-team All-Ivy status as a sophomore, was leading the Crimson with scoring with 18 goals and 12 assists after Saturday's contest. The injury occured as a result of a late hit by Bruin goalkeeper Charlie Meister, who was penalized on the play.

"We're trying to fit Peter with a special plastic cast right now. Hopefully he can play in the UMass game," Crimson mentor Bob Scalise said after yesterday's clash with Williams, for which Predun did not suit up.
