After battling a long illness, former Harvard wrestling coach and two-time Crimson All-American John H. Lee Jr. ’53 passed away yesterday. Lee demonstrated lifelong commitment to Harvard wrestling, devoting 35 years to the program as a student-athlete and coach. One of only seven grapplers to be elected to the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame, Lee enjoyed a stellar career in the Crimson singlet. As a junior and senior, the four-year standout capped his two All-American seasons by finishing fourth in the NCAA championships at 123 lbs. Since that time, only three...

...time coach, Jack Parker, earn his 800th career win. As the second-best team in the country, the Terriers bring all the usual attributes of a top-ranked squad to both ends of the ice. The Terriers bring a stingy defense led by senior Matt Gilroy, a two-time All-American whose name has already been mentioned as a natural choice for first-team All-America honors again this year. BU’s defense has allowed just 47 goals in 25 games. Finding the back of the net will also require getting the puck past the Terriers?...
