In her four years on the Columbia women’s soccer team, Sophie Reiser created a legacy that few student-athletes can match. But Reiser still has to prove herself on the field.
The Lions (7-7-3, 3-3-1 Ivy) finished the season tied with Princeton for fifth place in the league after a 2008 campaign that saw the Columbia women’s soccer team fall just one win short of the Ivy League championship.
Despite netting the first goal in its match against Harvard, the Columbia men’s soccer team was unable to bring in a second tally in overtime play to claim victory against the league leader. The dynamic offense that had posted several close shots in the first half fell apart in the second, creating only one scoring opportunity for the rest of the game. Miscommunication between the offensive players ultimately cost the Lions the match, but the inability to capitalize on opportunities has been a persistent problem for the men’s soccer team.
