...taunts from the jeering crowd drove the team to play harder. Offsay and Kuzcynski both had two goals in the game, while Gerrity, Voith and Garcia contributed one each. Though goalie Robbie Burmeister was undoubtedly missed by his teammates this weekend—the junior broke his ankle the week prior to the championships and is likely out for the year—sophomore Eric Byrd, who did an outstanding job starting for Harvard, filled his place in the net and helped keep the score close during the match...

Because...
...drove with three Currier hallmates to New York City for Game 7 of the ALCS, I felt a pang of regret that I would not be watching the game with my fellow Currierites. My friends agreed—here we were, on the road to what would become the most epic sporting event of our lives, and there was something pulling us back, though of course we wanted to be at the game more than anything. We kept in telephone contact with the GLM the entire game, not only to share our joy, but also so that we could hear...
