It's harder than it looks, as a couple of new films prove...
...last few seconds ticked off the clock, all that was left for the Harvard men’s soccer team to do was dump the water cooler on the coach, storm the field, and kiss the Ivy League championship trophy. And after the Crimson (13-4-0, 6-1-0 Ivy) closed out a 3-1 win over Columbia (7-8-2, 0-5-2) on Saturday at Ohiri Field to claim its first Ivy League title since 1996, that is exactly what it did. “It’s an unbelievable feeling,” said senior...
