After having some slow offensive starts this season, the Harvard women’s soccer team (3-8-1, 2-1-0 Ivy) couldn’t wait even four minutes to put one in the back of the net. The Crimson got a goal from sophomore midfield Rachel Lau at the 3:45 mark of the game and played conservative soccer through the rest of a 2-0 win over Cornell (1-9-1, 0-3-0) in Ivy League action on Saturday afternoon at Ohiri Field. “A goal in the first five minutes really gave...
...totaling 19 shots on target for the game, including eight in the second half. After a big stop in the 72nd minute by Harvard’s junior goalkeeper Adam Hahn, who knocked back a direct shot at goal, the Crimson jumped on the counter-attack. Led by sophomore midfielder Michael Fucito’s remarkable speed up the sideline, Harvard caught a break in the 83rd minute when Cornell midfielder Tom Marks received his second yellow card of the match.

The goals just kept coming. They had the momentum and they maintained it.” The remainder of the first half rapidly turned into a rout, as the Crimson found itself unable...
...wore out his welcome in San Francisco - while a 49er he once stomped on the star at midfield in Texas Stadium - and was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. There his great play was again tempered by public lashings of his quarterback and criticizing his coaches. He made amends by playing while injured in the Super Bowl, but followed that up with a contract dispute with the Eagles, in part fueled by his equally outrageous agent Drew Rosenhouse. Things soured in Philly so much that he was then traded to the Cowboys. Things started fine there, but Owens missed most...
