After a discussion of some offensive shortcomings, coach Carol Kleinfelder laid most of the blame on the team's inexperience.
"They've [Maryland] been in the semis the last three years. They know what it's like. They're seasoned team, and they're damn good," she said.
No Consolation
Against Temple, the Crimson never got steam, falling behind early and never coming closer. Finn notched four goals and Cat Ferrante added two more in a losing cause.
The loss was tough for seniors Sailer, Bryan and Annie Velie to end their lacrosse careers at Harvard. There will, however, be a next year for Kleinfelder and the other 15 returning members of the varsity.
"The experience should help us," Kleinfelder said. "Under pressure we'll know we have to play as a team--that's what we didn't do here."
