Though the Crimson failed to convert during 1:11 of a five-on-three play—including the 59 seconds that started the second period—junior Steve Mandes notched the equalizer at 6:39, redirecting defenseman Jack Christian’s blue-line shot from the slot into the bottom-right corner...
...finest winter performances ever. There were certainly high expectations. The Canadian Olympic Committee (coc) brazenly targeted third place in the overall medal standings--likely requiring 25 medals, compared with the 17 that Canada took home four years ago. Canada might not make it, especially after several failure-to-convert performances in the Games' opening days. As the unfulfilled expectations initially piled up--as when all four female snowboarders failed to qualify for the half-pipe final, or when Emily Brydon finished 20th in the women's downhill--coc chief executive officer Chris Rudge said he was planning a post-Games...

...Colleen Kelly nailed a jumper with 19 seconds left to give Brown another four-point lead, Crimson rookie forward Katie Rollins corralled an offensive rebound on the ensuing possession and drew contact after making the layup. When Rollins, who led Harvard with 17 points, could not convert the free throw, Robinson sprinted to retrieve a tough, off-balance offensive rebound and was fouled by Hayes while tumbling out of bounds. Two more free throws later, the Crimson, which had trailed by as much as 13 in the second half, looked primed to take the contest into overtime...
