...reward for the practice time.” Harvard played its best volleyball in the first frame of the match, opening with 14 kills on .565 hitting. With Weissbourd and co-captain Seamus McKiernan producing a series of kills and blocks, the Crimson jumped out to a 14-5 cushion. Unable to penetrate Harvard’s tight defense, Sacred Heart registered as many errors as it did kills, barely managing to edge its tally into double digits as the Crimson streaked to a 30-13 victory. Though the Pioneers played better in the following two frames, Harvard did just...
...Harvard’s first 17 points to help neutralize Columbia’s 50-percent shooting from beyond the arc. A last-second three pointer by the Lions’ Michelle Gage, who finished with 22 points on the night, gave Columbia a 39-38 cushion at the break. That would be the last the Lions would see of the lead for the rest of the night. Rollins put in a layup just 11 seconds into the second half and the Crimson used an 11-4 run over five minutes to increase its lead to 67-57 with...
With inflation edging to its highest level in 15 years, a lot of investors are discovering Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPS. They are government bonds that offer a guaranteed cushion against inflation, and since they were introduced in the late 1990s, investors have sucked up $350 billion worth--equal to nearly 10% of all outstanding Treasury securities.

...scored the first goal of the second half. Harvard attempted to come back, closing within five as Gamble and Caroline Simmons scored on free positions to make it 9-4 with 24:15 left. But the Syracuse offense, grasping tighter onto its lead, mustered another 4-0 run to cushion its advantage to 13-4. As the separation lengthened, the Crimson tried to claw back into the game and countered with a four-goal run of its own. The scoring flurry, however, was too little too late. Two more goals from Gamble did little damage as the Orange cemented...
...tear. With Michael Beal knifing through the lane for two acrobatic three-point plays, Matt Stehle grabbing every rebound in sight, and the defense staying firm on the perimeter, the Crimson built up as much as an eight-point edge, and fashioned a seemingly solid six-point cushion with 1:17 remaining when big man Brian Cusworth converted a pair of free throws. From there, Harvard pulled a Jacobellis. That is to say, minus the snow and the gratuitous “method air,” it snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. First, Princeton guard Edwin Buffmire...
