Clark and Gaffney leave the talking to Leary. In a crowd, the Mather roommates don't immediately get noticed like Leary does, unless that crowd is spread over an acre and a half of grass, armed with sticks and chasing a ball.

Gaffney has been handling the center's role for the last three seasons, and the quick midfielder is well-known for her ability to get the draw.

Clark is defender, and usually draws the opponents' top scorer. An All-American in both field hockey and lacrosse, co-captain for both, Clark's actions speak for themselves.

After playing and practicing together for four years at Harvard (and for four years before that at St. Paul's School for Clark and Hansen), these women know each other well. They share the bonds of friends, roommates (Clark and Gaffney, Hansen and Panglinauan) and even relatives (Hansen's brother married Clark's sister).

They know where the other will be on a certain play without looking. They know the ability and the faults, the possibilities and the impossibilities. After all these years, the end is finally here. After this weekend, they will never play together again.

Let's hope they go out on top.
