...octopus-like arms to stymie all Harvard activity in the vicinity of the Columbia goal. But Crimson left wing Alberto Villar, back in action this year after being sidelined last year with a rare tropical disease that inhibited his ability to sweat, fooled McElaney with a long, right-footed hook to the upper right hand corner of the nets for a 1-0 lead...
