With time to act, UMass junior Erica Iverson picked up a ball, left at the top of the penalty area. She struck a deft shot to the top left corner to beat Harvard goalkeeper Jen Burney, who also had no chance to stop the amazing shot...
...soap opera set in late eighteenth-century France: scheming aristocrats with too much time on their hands manipulate their friends and lovers in order to further their agendas of pleasure and revenge. "Liaisons" could easily be nothing more than a frothy, cynical delight, but there is some very deft social commentary at the heart of Christopher Hampton's play.

Studies at the University of Miami School of Medicine's Touch Research Institute have found that premature infants gain weight much faster after being...
