...When I'm working, I'm up at six and not asleep until two a.m.," the Cabot House resident says. "It's harsh, really, really harsh."

Nature, playing no favorites, blankets them all together...

The Crimson regained consciousness in time to snag a 3-2 victory. But if not for the inspired play of back-up goalie John Devin, Harvard would have been the sad victim of Meehan malaise...
