Harvard started off by humming the Foreigner tune--"cold as ice"--as the women in red couldn't hit the side of a barn in the first ten minutes. Coach Carole Kleinfelder brought her troops out of a comatose state in time to nab a 28-26 halftime lead as the Falcons succumbed to the deadly turnoveritis contagion...
