Sylvia Stone '11 of the women's soccer team has redefined what it means to recover from an injury. After suffering a sprained ankle earlier this season, Stone shone in Sunday's 4-0 win over Cornell. Her performance earned her the honor of Ivy League Rookie of the Week, a title which she shared with Harvard's Katherine Sheeleigh.
Stone's first career goal, which she scored 31 minutes into the game, gave the Bears a 1-0 advantage and the momentum they needed to defeat the Big Red. After two more goals, from Jamie Mize '09 and Susie Keller '08, Stone found the net a second time late in the contest to clinch the 4-0 victory.
Stone's pair of goals marked the first time a Bears player recorded multiple goals in a single game this season.
