Senior Maura Healey doesn't like to talk about herself. In fact, articles like this embarrass her.

The Harvard women's basketball team co-captain would rather be remembered for her actions, not for her words.

And Healey has left behind a legacy of action.

If her fans and friends close their eyes, they can still see Healey drive the lane and deftly dish to Deb Flandermeyer for an easy layup.

They'll see the 5'6" point guard storm by Brown's 6'5" Martina Jerant for a pretty hoop off a finger roll.

They will watch in amazement as Healey calmly dribbles away from pressure and nails a jumper.

And if they can't use their imagination, they might be able to use television.

Come June, Healey will fly out to Colorado Springs and try out for the U.S. Olympic team.

Bigger and Better Things

After compiling an impressive career with the Crimson, Healey is moving on to greater challenges.

Harvard's second all-time career assists leader (310) will be the Ivy League's sole representative at the trials.

"It's very exciting," Healey says. "This kind of thing keeps me going."

If Healey makes the squad, she will go through a month of intensive training with the team and then fly to Barcelona.

For most, trying out for the national team is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For Healey, it's becoming a routine.

Healey was invited to try out for the team in 1987, back when she was just a 16 year-old high school junior.
