Field Hockey’s Young Takes Home Ivy League Rookie of the Week Honors

PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard freshman forward Kathleen Young has been named Ivy League Rookie of the Week, as announced by the conference office Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Young had a fantastic game Sunday, helping the Crimson top Fairfield, 4-0, with the first multi-goal game of her career. Early in the second half, Young capped a fantastic transition play for Harvard with a one-timer into the back of the cage off a terrific pass from Marissa Balleza. Young put the exclamation point on the day minutes later with her second goal, also assisted by Balleza. Young made a great fake to deke the goalie out of position, clearing the way for her to slip the ball into an open cage.
