...steam in the final set, allowing Rice to jump to a 6-0 lead out of the gate. The Owls utilized the early momentum to generate a 20-8 lead, and although Ingersoll, Fryhofer, and Wu spurred on a 4-0 run, Rice’s Ashleigh McCord put an end to any hopes of a comeback with back-to-back kills. The Owls eventually took the set, 25-15.No. 23 WICHITA STATE 3, HARVARD 0The weekend’s opening match with Wichita State (9-1) provided the Crimson with the season’s first glimpse...

The British government is so far resisting calls for a public inquiry. Haddock - who is presently in prison for an assault that had occurred while he was still on the books as an informer, but which was only prosecuted after he had been taken off the books - hasn't commented. And McCord has paid a price for his efforts. There have been attempts on his life and he was forced to move out of North Belfast. He now lives behind...
