SPOTLIGHT

When you're the only captain, you're the person the team turns to.

When the Crimson turns to Kelly McBride--which it does often--McBride turns it on. Saturday, the senior attack scored six goals to lead Harvard past previously undefeated Cornell, 15-4, in a game featuring the Ivy League's premier teams.

Thanks to McBride's efforts, Harvard is now 4-0 in the league and well on the way to its sixth Ivy championship in eight years. Last year, McBride led the league in goals scored with 24 and earned first-team All Ivy honors.

This year, McBride, a Winthrop House resident, is a terror inside and outside of the league. Against Northeastern a week ago, she scored six goals and recorded three assists--all in the first half.

McBride had three goals in the Crimson's triumph over Brown in Providence, R.I., two weeks ago. The fact that she is the team's only captain is a testament both to her leadership and scoring talent.

For her efforts on the lacrosse field this weekend, Kelly McBride earns this week's spotlight.

Spotlight appears every Tuesday in The Harvard Crimson.
