Starting goalkeeper Drew Healy missed Saturday's game, a 1-0 loss to Princeton, because of a facial injury, Quakers coach Rudy Fuller revealed yesterday.

Sarah Bucar committed to suit up for Patrick Knapp over three years ago, before her senior year in high school even began.
On Friday night, she will finally get the chance to make good on her word.
The 21-year-old sophomore had planned to play under Knapp at Georgetown, where the coach spent 18 seasons before signing on to lead the Quakers in 2004.
