...what is sure to be an intense and physical battle. In November, the Big Red escaped with a narrow 2-1 win over Harvard in Ithaca, N.Y. Tomorrow Harvard will look to avenge this loss on its home ice. A lot has changed since the previous matchup of the two. No. 6 Cornell climbed the national rankings and became one of the country’s elite teams, while Harvard hit a bit of a rough patch. Since the Cornell game, Harvard compiled a record of 1-11-3. The Beanpot, however, showed signs of resurgence and the Crimson?...
...thing that remains the same from Harvard’s meeting with Cornell at the end of last season is that the Big Red will be playing without Jeomi Maduka. Maduka, perhaps the league’s best player in 2008, missed the March 1 matchup to participate in a track and field meet. This year, Maduka decided to give up her Big Red basketball career for good...
...life. “For me especially, getting a chance to play the second best player in the country, I knew I wouldn’t get that many shots. You have to perform,” West said of the victory. Though it was their first matchup, it wasn’t just about West and Detter that day. Nor was it solely a matter of winning and losing. While West probably has a trophy case that looks like King Midas’s G.I. Joe collection, he couldn’t stop talking about his team...
...Crimson. Harvard (12-7, 4-1) will put its four-game winning streak to the test this weekend in two huge conference games against Cornell and Columbia, both of which are nipping at the Crimson’s heels in the Ivy League standings. Saturday night’s matchup with the Bears, on the other hand, wasn’t much for drama. After opening its Ivy slate with a gritty two-point win at Yale, Brown has dropped its last five games: all five at home, all five to league opponents. The night before the Crimson came...
...finally earning a victory against Princeton last Feb. 22. The Crimson tied for last in the conference in the 2007-08 season, a feat that none of the players would like to see repeated. A fifth straight loss to a Bears team that had yet to win an Ivy matchup could have sent Harvard down a similar disappointing path this season, but the second half heroics prevented a slide equivalent to that of last year. “We were in a slump and we had one half left this weekend,” Lin said...
