For Women's Soccer, Senior Day Not The End

This upcoming weekend, the Harvard women’s soccer team will bid farewell to its departing class of six seniors in its last home game of the regular season.

The Crimson is set to take on Columbia for Senior Day this Saturday at Ohiri Field at 11 a.m.

This year’s seniors—Kerry Kartsonis, Caroline Kutler, Katherine Kuzma, Katherine Sheeleigh, Katherine Thurber, and Gina Wideroff—have been on the Harvard squad for a total of two Ivy League Championships and 36 wins over the course of the last four years, and they will try to finish their collegiate careers with one more home win over the Lions this weekend.

But after Saturday’s matchup is over, the Crimson still has one game left to close out the season.

In a strange twist of scheduling fate, Harvard's game against Fairfield, originally set for Oct. 7 but delayed due to inclement weather, will be played next Thursday, Nov. 11, in Fairfield, Conn.

That means that after the festivities and celebrations of Senior Day, the team will hit the road one more time for a game that now has essentially no bearing on the season’s outcome (the Crimson has already been eliminated from Ivy contention).

But no matter the mix-up, the Harvard team says it’s always excited to take the field.
