...Huskies’ goal, but was unable to turn fast enough to score. Soon after, sophomore back Abbie Harpstead had a shot blocked, while sophomore back Francine Polet put the ball just over the goal on a penalty corner. Sophomore midfielder Kayla Romanelli looked to be on a breakaway before being fouled. The Crimson also found new life at the defensive end of the field. Hustle plays by Berglund and Polet nullified offensive opportunities for the Huskies. “We picked it up and we did start hustling, but obviously that’s something we need...

Saakashvili's heavy hints that he might force the issue has allowed Moscow to accuse the Georgian leadership of threatening aggression. And it has certainly helped President Vladimir Putin rally the Russian public behind a nationalist cause.

Yale forward Andrea Bouchard caught up with the pass and slid the ball by freshman Lauren Mann for a breakaway goal. “We knew they were very athletic with good team speed,” Harvard coach Erica Walsh said. “We wanted to minimize their attack, but we weren’t able to the entire game.” Mann was able to rebound...
...push a fifth shot over the line with the clock racing toward halftime. Senior defensive back Jennifer DeAngelis first denied Duke’s ambitions with a diving save across the goal line to clear the ball. Knoche did her part in the cage, laying out to reject a breakaway shot with only seconds left and tallying six saves in the half. The Harvard defense and the 15-minute intermission seemed to quell the Blue Devils’ onslaught. It was not until 20 minutes into the second period that Duke would again find the Crimson net, putting the home...
