...Kocurek, who contributed 14 digs, supplied one of several strong Crimson performances. The team’s other co-captain, junior Lily Durwood, made 26 assists.

...like a surfer kid: "Hey, dude." He will talk a lot about his fascination with sharks and his fear of rattlesnakes, the pests that surround his California home and once bit his dog. No single quote has upset him more over the years than the claim that he shouted "Kill! Kill! Kill!" as he worked in the war room of the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign. An absolute falsehood, he maintains, along with the claim that he sometimes gets nosebleeds when he gets angry, like stigmata of his temper. The nosebleeds, he says, just happen sometimes, as they would for anybody...
