One U.S. soldier took a burst of fire in the chest at virtually point-blank range that knocked him on his back.

...first shutout loss in 98 games. “We had numerous chances to score, but their goalie played well, and we weren’t able to [finish],” Du said. “We had a lot of chances, and a couple of point-blank shots. It’s frustrating, considering how well we played this weekend, to lose in the quarterfinals.” In the third period, Harvard turned on the heat, nearly tying the game off a shot from sophomore Jack Christian, whose slapshot from the high slot flew past Leggio...
