...together a 40-minute game. We’re playing with a great deal of confidence. I like the hustle and energy we’re playing with on defense. It seems in the last couple of games we are able to wear some people down, get a margin, get a lead, and then finish.” With the Crimson down 24-20 midway through the first half, Harvard put the clamps on defensively and outscored the visitors 15-3 over the last parts of the half. Captain forward Brad Unger began the run with a three-pointer...

Mitt Romney, repeating his win in the state that launched the Arizona veteran’s strong showing in the 2000 presidential primaries.

...than we showed tonight,” junior forward Katie Rollins said. Last year, a struggling Harvard squad traveled to Hanover, N.H., and defeated the then-defending Ivy League champions in overtime after facing a 16-point deficit. And this year, the Crimson found itself down by the same margin towards the end of the first half. Following a dismal first 20 minutes, Harvard (7-8, 0-1 Ivy) rallied and briefly took the lead—its first since 2-0—with just over six minutes to go before falling behind again, 47-43, after...
