...balance in the first half.”Harvard capitalized on that momentum after the break, going ahead for good 32-30 on an Adrian Budischak tip in with 19:03 remaining. Freshman guard Emily Tay debuted with back-to-back jumpers to give Harvard a five-point cushion during a crucial second-half stretch.The Hornets mustered just one field goal in the first seven minutes of the second half and could never crack the Crimson defense, shooting just 20-of-57 from the field for the game.The Crimson remedied its anemic offense from Friday’s loss with...
...Allowing third-period goals appears to have become habit for the Crimson (4-2-0, 3-2-0 ECAC). Just last weekend, Cornell scored two late goals to shock Harvard with a come-from-behind victory. And the following night, Colgate trimmed the Crimson’s 6-1 cushion to a two-goal margin with three goals in a 2:50-minute span in the third period.

These little evaluations can count for perhaps 5 percent or 7 percent of the overall course grade individually, and so together will still amount to the same sort of safety net offered...
...weekend's race in Fort Worth, Texas, he had a 43-point lead in the Chase over a posse including Johnson, Biffle, Kyle Busch and veterans Rusty Wallace, 49, and Mark Martin, 46, who are on their last laps before retiring this year. That seems like enough of a cushion. Then again, this is NASCAR: 43 racers start each event, but there are more parts than cars at the finish. One wreck, and the standings could shift dramatically...
