...strides in the pool. Harvard faces a tough MIT team on Thursday before hosting the ECAC championships. If the squad hopes to continue its success, the Crimson will have to make critical defensive adjustments in the week ahead. CALIFORNIA BAPTIST 16, HARVARD 10 The Crimson stumbled in its second contest, failing to recapture the intensity that led to a thrilling 14-13 overtime victory over the Lancers last year. Yesterday Harvard enjoyed solid play from junior Egan Atkinson, who recorded four goals to lead all Crimson scorers, along with Connolly, who began his senior season with seven strong saves...
...third time seems to be the charm for the Harvard women’s soccer team. Last season, it put a goal on the board in each of its first two games at the Hartford Invitational, but couldn’t grab a victory until its third contest against Northeastern. The formula has held true again this season: the Crimson (1-2-0, 0-0 Ivy) sputtered on offense in two matchups in California last weekend, but notched its first goal—and its first victory—in its third game of the 2008 season with...
...debonair façade.

That meant Cameron ditching some of his own bred-in-the-bone leanings toward social conservatism. In 2003 Cameron opposed the repeal of 1988 legislation banning local authorities and schools from "promoting" homosexuality. He now says his earlier stance was a mistake...
...Crimson (0-2-0) could not find offensive rhythm and suffered a 3-0 defeat. “We didn’t play particularly well,” Harvard coach Ray Leone said. “It was first game jitters.” In the next contest against the Loyola Marymount Lions (2-2-1), the Crimson improved immensely but still fell 1-0. Harvard possessed the ball much better in the second game but could not turn that control into scoring opportunities. “We need to take people on a little better when...
