...boys. 7:34 pm: Good evening, Sports Fans. This is Walt Howell here (with my best friend and sports comper Troy "the Murder" Murrell), bringing you, the Harvard fan, the best coverage we can muster as your Harvard Crimson (2-2) take on the undefeated Holy Cross Saders. Holy Cross definitely has the size advantage on the Crimson, with 6-11 Tim Clifford leading the way. Clifford dropped 22 on the Crimson in a 13-point win for the Saders last season. Jim Goffredo '07 and junior point guard Drew Housman combined for 35 in that losing effort...
...Nearing game time, some interesting Sader facts Troy has enlightened me on. Holy Cross: 1947 NCAA Champions, lost to Bucknell in Patriot League championship two years ago, won in 2005 and 2007, going to the NCAA tournament both years, and they where a lot of purple.

After coinciding minors for roughing left the teams playing 4-on-4, junior defenseman Brian McCafferty was whistled for cross-checking with 1:22 left in the third as he fought for the puck along the Harvard boards.After the Raiders used their timeout to devise their plan of attack against the remaining three Crimson skaters, it took less than a minute of careful passing around Harvard’s zone...
...This is the weekend we train for all year,” head coach Erik Farrar said. “We played the toughest schedule in our team’s history, and I think it made us tougher as the year wound down. After weeks of laborious cross-country excursions, Harvard’s first extended break of the season afforded the team with much-needed rest in preparation for its final weekend. The rest paid off well, as the Crimson upset Johns Hopkins in the first round to move into the semifinals against No. 11 St. Francis. Although...
