Thoke earned Player of the Year by recording a league-high seven conference wins with a 1.16 ERA. Joining her on the All-Ivy First Team as a unanimous choice was Abeles, the only Harvard player to hit over .400 this year (.411).

Also named to the First Team were Teller, McKendry and freshman utility player Sarah Koppell. Junior Jessie Amberg was the Crimson's lone representative on the All-Ivy Second Team. Junior Ghia Godfree and senior Tara LaSovage received Honorable Mention All-Ivy accolades.

Harvard graduates four seniors this year: Teller, LaSovage, Karen Rice and Meredith Bagley, who may be the best defensive player in the Ancient Eight. But the Crimson also returns a great deal of talent.

Back are Abeles and Thoke, whose numbers speak for themselves. Also back are Godfree, McKendry, Amberg and Harvard's entire pitching staff. Several freshmen also made immediate impacts this year, including Koppel, outfielder Lisa Watanabe and utility player Cherry Fu.

"I'm excited to see how they do next year," Teller said. "A lot of younger players proved themselves this season, and Chelsea had a tremendous year. They have even more potential than we did this year."

After another successful season, Harvard will bid farewell to its seniors and gear up for its attempt to unseat Cornell at the top of the Ivy standings in 2000.
