Baskind Has Career Day in Win Over Tigers

It seems that the only person who wasn’t impressed by Baskind’s performance was the standout herself.

“There’s one person that gets the stats at the end of the game…[but] it’s someone else who’s making runs to make movement or following up shots,” Baskind said. “It really was just a reflection of how everyone played, being able to put in four goals [Saturday] night.”

The Framingham, Mass. native continued her high level of play against Quinnipiac on Monday night. Though she failed to find the back of the net, her four shots on goal were twice the amount of anyone else on the team.

Baskind has long been a force on the offensive front. With her two goals against Princeton, she ran her year total to seven, tying her for the team lead with Sheeleigh.

“She has awesome foot skills, and she works hard every single game,” Sheeleigh said. “She just makes things happen defensively [and] offensively.”

While Baskind is a powerhouse on the field, she exerts a strong presence off of it as well.

“Everybody loves her,” Leone said. “She’s just got an ability to connect with every single player on the team.”

The squad has two matches with Ancient Eight opponents remaining, including a bout at Dartmouth this Saturday. If the team wants to capture the league title once more, the contest against the Big Green is a must-win.

“All that really matters is that we beat Dartmouth on Saturday,” senior co-captain Gina Wideroff said.

As the team looks ahead, it can certainly build off of its performance Saturday against Princeton.

“It was a good night for me, [and] it was a good night for the team,” Baskind said. “It’s time to take that positive energy into what’s next.”
