...said. “The score, we knew we couldn’t come back, but it’s about each individual possession and making stops and showing that you’re not going to give up.”It was Harvard’s worst defeat since it opened the 1989-90 season at Duke and suffered a 130-54 drubbing at the hands of the Blue Devils. Coincidentally, Amaker served as an assistant coach for that Duke team.—Staff writer Jonathan Lehman can be reached at jlehman@fas.harvard.edu...
...clinched sole possession of the league title Saturday by downing the Crimson, 1-0. A 15th-minute goal from Penn’s Jessica Fuccello—her 11th goal of the season—coupled with an impressive defensive display was enough to defeat Harvard in a match of very few chances. A year ago, it was Columbia that clinched the Ivy League crown in Cambridge. However, that is pretty much all that the two seasons had in common for the Crimson.

It gathered steam Saturday as Lin poured in a career-high 15 points, including three second-half three-pointers, in a closer-than-it-sounds 79-61 loss to UC Santa Barbara. And it culminated on Sunday, when Lin re-established his personal best with 17 points and typified...
...going to give up.” The result was even more lopsided than the last Stanford-Harvard matchup, a 100-59 win for the Cardinal on Dec. 28, 2003—the last time it reached the century mark. And it was the Crimson’s worst defeat since it opened the 1989-90 season at Duke and suffered a 130-54 drubbing at the hands of the Blue Devils. Coincidentally, Amaker served as an assistant coach for that Duke team. “I told our kids at a certain point we weren’t monitoring...
