When Caitlin Cahow came to Harvard in the autumn of 2003, she was just another prep school hockey player: a good, dependable skater, with some extra speed. She was an all-around athlete who also played field hockey, lacrosse, and soccer at Hotchkiss. The daughter of two Yale Medical School professors, she was a good fit for Harvard's academic demands, too. All in all, she was a solid recruit for Harvard coach Katey Stone.

But there were no expectations she would become a world-class athlete.

Now, the Harvard senior tricaptain is an Olympic bronze medalist, a member of the United States national team, and the linchpin of the top-ranked Crimson squad (32-1-0) that takes on No. 5 Wisconsin in the NCAA semifinals at 6 p.m. today in Duluth, Minn. The two-time defending champion Badgers (28-8-3) eliminated Harvard in last year's quarterfinals in a quadruple-overtime heartbreaker. No. 4 Minnesota-Duluth (32-4-1) plays No. 2 New Hampshire (33-3-1) in the second semifinal.
