...feeling better now.” However, junior Kwaku Nyamekye continues to be hampered by an ankle injury. Nyamekye, who sat out most of the Vermont game, was a rock at the back last year for Harvard but may be moved to striker or midfield. “It depends on where he can affect the game most,” coach Jamie Clark said of where he might play Nyamekye once he returns to full fitness. Senior co-captain Luke Sager appreciates how much having players like Nyamekye can open up options for the team...
...collegiate ranks for Baskind, who in early action looks to be the Katherine Sheeleigh of a year ago: a lightning-quick rookie with little reservation about what to do with a good look on net. In the 32nd minute, Baskind took a pass from fellow freshman Lindsey Kowal at midfield, weaved past a host of Davidson defenders, and fired a bullet from the left side that beat Wildcat keeper Loring Ward right post to extend Harvard’s early lead.

...idea. But Holland against Spain - you can imagine a 5-3 final score - could be the game of the tournament, assuming the Spaniards can manage a way through a depleted Italy. And why not? Spain has two superb finishers in Torres and Villa and an equally lethal midfield. The Italians, who turned their first round into a three-part opera - tragedy (vs. Holland), desperation (vs. Romania) and redemption (vs. France)- are going to need some new actors. Italy's maestro Andrea Pirlo is suspended, as is their Rottweiler defensive midfielder Gennaro Gattuso. On the plus side, striker Luca Toni...
