But if Crystal Meredith, a single mom who was told her son could not transfer to another elementary school because he is white, has her way, the whole thing will be dismantled.

After intercepting a pass in the Crimson circle, B.C. forward Crystal Frates easily dropped her twelfth goal of the season in the back of the net behind junior goalie Siobhan Connolly. Connolly replaced sophomore starter Kelly Knoche between the posts for the second straight game. The goal was an early indicator of Harvard’s struggles throughout the game...
