...holder Bruce Durno. He has played almost 4000 minutes in the nets for the Crimson despite missing two months of his freshman season with a knee injury and four more games after getting hurt last year. He also has a chance of becoming the first Harvard player to win back-to-back Beanpot MVPs...
...jumped out to an early lead, winning five out of the first six events, but Harvard managed to stay close, due to the gutsy performance of long-distance freestyler Shelby Calvert. The junior from the Marshal Islands--who recently transferred from West Point--swam back-to-back races, placing first in the 1000-yd. free (10:46) and second in the 200-yd. freestyle by a scant four seconds.

...What doesn't destroy me makes me stronger. Harvard came out of a recent series of games against nationally top-ranked teams alive and kicking. A poor performance against UConn was followed by a superlative one against Princeton, and co-captain Cat Ferrante, for one, found the contrast invaluable. "Back-to-back games let us know the difference in how it feels to play good and bad. If things go bad, now we know what to change...
