...there. I guess it was sort of a feel thing for Coach Murphy. He never promised me anything.”But Pizzotti’s results in 2006 hardly merit a benching in their own right: 126.47 passing efficiency, 904 yards through the air, a mere four interceptions in five starts, and, most notably, zero losses.“It’s definitely a tough spot to be in,” Pizzotti said. “Coach Murphy ha[s] been great the whole time and was really very supportive of both of us?...

...emphasis is very much on the spring but at the same time it’s a big competition and we’re all going for it.”The Harvard varsity lightweights turned in a No. 11 finish on Saturday, yet again came in mere tenths of a second behind Cornell. The Big Red bested the Crimson by 0.076 seconds to take home IRA gold a year ago. Yesterday, Cornell’s time of 15:04.670 was three-tenths better than Harvard’s, which finished in 15:04.998.The Crimson’s slow first...
