...more instruction and sideline help the Crimson could have taken first on Sunday. But, with coach Ben Zivkovic having to divide his time between men's and women's teams in the off season, the women apparently did not receive enough attention.

But simple cures are often hard to find for slumping athletes. Cauthen, however, does not appear to have picked...
