...ball over the bar. The complexion of the game changed after senior midfielders Rachael Lau and Erin Wylie were substituted at around the 20-minute mark. Play opened up with possession evening out, as the two sides traded attacks in each other’s halves and both defenses held strong. Harvard came out aggressively after the break, with Baskind, Sheeleigh, and Wylie all managing early shots. Yale also created some good chances.

...fate of the cargo is also rapidly becoming a hot potato for other reasons. Russia responded to the hijacking by announcing it was sending a warship to the area - three of the crew being held hostage are Russian, and Sudan's government has called on Moscow to attack the pirates. That's because while the government of Kenya claims to be the intended recipient of the tanks, many - like Andrew Mwangura, the Mombasa-based coordinator for the Seafarers Assistance Programme, and Lieutenant Nathan Christensen, press liaison of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain - believe the weapons were headed...
