Three stars, two passes, one backdoor cut, and a 2-1 lead before most of the 1,211 or Harvard goalie Brittany Martin could react.Then, on a 5-on-3, the Crimson experts picking apart the undermanned defense. Chu to Cahow at the point, down to Katie Johnston...
...much sugar into it that it became a sort of chemistry experiment, testing the absorptive capacity of a cupful of water. Oh, and - together with the iced and sticky buns - sweet tea also led to (how can we put this nicely?) those distinctive dental challenges that identify baby-boom Brits. Trust me, I know...
