...goalkeeping on both ends resulted in a scoreless opening period. The floodgates were opened when both teams managed to capitalize on power-play opportunities in the second period. Senior forward Dave Watters’ goal at 3:35 unleashed a barrage of scoring from both sides. After failing to convert on two power-play opportunities in the first period, the Crimson made sure to make the most of the man-advantage. One minute into its first power-play opportunity of the period, Watters deflected junior defenseman Brian McCafferty’s slapshot past Big Red goaltender Ben Scrivens to give...

...negotiations underway to potentially build one in Saudi Arabia. Still, Church officials say that the question of religious freedom must ultimately also mean freedom to change religion, and note that some Muslims insist that conversion from Islam is apostate, and punishable by death. In 2006, Abdul Rahman, an Afghan convert to Christianity, fled his native country after death threats and arrived in Rome, where he received political asylum from the Italian government and the support of the Pope...
