As part of the celebration of 25 years of women's sports in the Ivy League, Harvard announced its own Silver Anniversary Soccer Team. The anniversary was commemorated on Sunday, September 27, following the women's alumnae soccer game. Julie Brynteson '80 Tracee Whitley and Emily Stauffer were Ivy League Silver Anniversary Honor Roll selections. Two were made by each college for each Ivy-League sponsored sport. Tracee Whitley, an outstanding goalie for the Crimson, was the first Ivy Player ever to capture both Ivy Rookie of the Year (1984) and Player of the Year (1987) awards. She was a three-time selection to the All-Ivy first team. The owner of Harvard records for career saves (424), and shutouts in a season (9) and career (26), Whitley won the Radcliffe College Alumnae Association Award (awarded to a senior woman letterwinner, who, through outstanding ability on the playing field and dedication to her sport and qualities of leadership, best reflects the purposeful achievement of Radcliffe Alumnae) in 1988. She is one of just three soccer players ever to win the award. Whitley's career numbers were 424 saves, 39 goals against, 5,546 minutes played and a 0.63 goals-against average. She is currently a lawyer in Boston. Emily Stauffer, regarded as one of the most dominant players in Ivy history, is in the midst of her senior season at Harvard. The Soccer Buzz and Soccer America 1998 Preseason All-American and finalist for the Hermann Trophy, which honors the most outstanding collegiate soccer player, Stauffer has career numbers of 32 goals, 25 assists, 89 points and seven game-winning goals. She has been a first team All-Ivy player three times and is likely to make it four this season. An outstanding student as well, Stauffer was a GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-American during the 1996-97 school year. She was a high school All-American at New Canaan (Conn.) High School. Jen Greeley also made Harvard's lacrosse team. Notably, there were several other former soccer players who were named to the Silver Anniversary Team for other sports: Libby Enyon (squash, also made the Ivy League Silver Anniversary Honor Roll), Julie Sassner (hockey), and Beth Reilly (softball). Here is the full Ivy League Silver Anniversary soccer team:
