...boat also recorded ten top-10 finishes, highlighted by a pair of seconds in Sunday’s competition. Overall, Harvard finished the regatta with 119 points. The team can now turn its attention fully to ACCs, which will be held in two weeks at Georgetown.“It was the culminating regular season women’s regatta, so arguably everyone was peaking right now. The fact that we were able to beat out the teams from New England and from other regions as well, I think that’s a really good sign...

Indeed, critics believe it will be part of the Bush legacy.

After Michael Dukakis and George H.W. Bush traded passive-aggressive jabs in 1988, O'Connor simply didn't invite the presidential candidates in either 1992 or 1996.

...League race appeared to be even more open after Saturday’s contests. Brown, Princeton, and Penn remain the only undefeated teams in league play, but the Bears lost 41-34 to Holy Cross and Penn looked unimpressive in a 27-7 victory over Georgetown. Princeton fell to Colgate, 27-24. One of those undefeateds will fall next weekend; Brown travels to Princeton on Saturday for a 1 p.m. kick. Harvard, meanwhile, kept itself in the race. There has not been a two-loss Ivy champion since 1982—when Harvard, Penn, and Dartmouth all finished...
