...Harvard gave up a corner, and on the ensuing cross, Boston College’s Kelly Henderson scored on a header. With one minute remaining, the Eagles almost grabbed the win when another shot deflected off the post. In overtime, neither team could notch the game-winner and the contest ended without a victor. Although the Crimson gave up a late goal, Leone was very proud of his team’s performance. “The team effort was amazing,” he said. “They were just very plugged in together. Of course [Mann] played...

Last season, Randolph torched Harvard for 339 yards and four touchdowns, including a 40-yard strike with 19 seconds remaining that gave the Crusaders a 31-28 victory, their first over the Crimson since...
...addition, more early-voting centers are being located at colleges and universities, a change that significantly affects student turnout. Students at the University of North Carolina and N.C. State were able to vote on campus throughout the two weeks leading up to North Carolina's primary contest in April. At Duke University, however, students had to make their way to voting sites in the city of Durham. While turnout for Durham County was 52% in the Democratic primary, only 11% of eligible Duke students voted. This fall, however, Duke will have its own early-voting center, open for business starting...
