Andrew and Kirstin take a look back at the third full weekend of play before breaking down both the NFHCA Coaches Poll and the Pitch Session People's Poll. They then welcome head coach of the undefeated, 5th ranked (in both polls) Harvard Crimson, Tjerk van Herwaarden.
In chatting with Tjerk, we learn how he came to give up a banking career in the Netherlands to coach collegiate field hockey in the United States, why his Crimson are off to such a strong start this season and the challenges -- and benefits of coaching both at Harvard and in the Ivy League.
The show wraps up with a look at this weeks' chutes and ladders, Kirstin's DIII short corner (which was interrupted), and this weekend's Games to Watch (TM)
