...Providence were far from perfect. But last night at Schneider Arena, the No. 10 Crimson (4-4-2, 3-2-2 ECAC) was a little less unpolished and managed to down the Friars (8-4-2, 5-1-1 Hockey East), who as the top unranked vote-getters hover just outside the national polls in the de facto No. 11 spot, by a final score of 6-3.

But Samoa's climate hasn't been kind to his writing. A set of first editions in the museum has almost perished. "The cockroaches got to the books," says museum manager Lufilufi Rasmussen. "The covers aren't legible now, so we have to get them restored...
