After a winless road trip to California, the Harvard women’s volleyball team returns to the colder confines of the Northeast as the Crimson travels tonight to Durham, N.H., to take on New Hampshire (UNH) at Lundholm Gym. The Wildcats limp into tonight’s contest with a 2-10 record. For Harvard, the match will offer a final opportunity to hone its tactics before kicking off its Ivy League slate Friday night against Dartmouth.

Without the promise of health care for all, we aren't likely to muster the energy and political will we need to meet the needs of our entire population.
