...student aid and family finance, did more reading than usual this year. And not just because the 4,000 financial-aid applications that landed on his desk made up a record 62% of the applicant pool. Shorb, who has worked in financial aid for 30 years and is halfway through putting his three daughters through college, had also never seen so many personal appeals folded into the files. Setting aside his computer algorithms and thick-buttoned relic of a calculator, he absorbed every typewritten page. One family expected a 50% income drop; another planned to sell its home to help...

Two straight baskets by Lin around the five minute mark—the first a steal...

Despite the 13-7 shot advantage in the frame, Harvard just couldn’t generate the offensive blitz necessary to find the back of the net. Freshman forward Alex Killorn had a decent look at goal about halfway through the period, but was foiled by Brown goaltender Michael Clemente, who stopped 39 shots on the night.“They limited us to one-shot opportunities as opposed to us getting any kind of a flurry of shots,” Donato said. “Clemente...
