...play,” said co-captain and goaltender Kylie Stone. “Every game is a big game within the league.” With only 14 seconds left in the first half, Harvard broke a scoreless tie when sophomore forward Maggie McVeigh scored on a counterattack. Sophomore forward Leigh McCoy increased the cushion to two with a goal late in the second half. The two goals were more than enough for Stone, who notched seven saves en route to her third shutout of the season. Early on, it looked as if Brown would strike first. Just...
...Obama's performance in the first debate was Exhibit A. My first reaction was that Obama didn't make any mistakes, but he allowed McCain to attack him relentlessly without making an effective counterattack. I saw it as a toss-up, not a momentum changer; the public, however, saw it as a clear-cut Obama win. In retrospect, there were two reasons for this. The first became clear when I read the transcript: Obama was far more forceful on the page than he was on the screen. He just lambasted McCain quietly. A key moment was the Iraq question: McCain...
...resources, you could always launch your own counterattack: Barack Obama, frustrated with the false rumors being spread about his background and religious history, created a website in June called Fight The Smears to debunk them.

...left to play, and McCoy was able to force overtime on a goal with 1:25 remaining in regulation. In overtime, Harvard survived several scares before eventually succumbing to the Minutewomen’s attack. With 1:43 left in the second overtime, UMass gained possession and launched a counterattack in which Parker and sophomore forward Katie Kelly led a two-on-one breakaway. Kelly fed the ball ahead to Parker who slipped a shot past Stone for the game-winner. “The team played a very complete game today,” Caples said...
...through the outmanned and outgunned South Korean army. Even the intervention of U.S. soldiers five days later, assisted by a United Nations force, could not stop the advance until it had reached the Pusan perimeter, in the country's extreme southeast corner. But General Douglas MacArthur's bold amphibious counterattack at Inchon, behind the enemy lines, rolled back the North Koreans and resulted in the capture of their capital, Pyongyang. Just as the war appeared to be winding down, Chinese armies poured across the Yalu River, once again reversing the tide. They too were pushed back, but MacArthur was forbidden...
