...perfectly filled coke glasses and the uneaten crusts of delivery pizza that populate this coming-of-age story.

Blumberg, seeded 11th, beat Yale’s Lauren McCrery and Trinity’s Lauren Polonich to reach her quarterfinal bout with Ranieri. In one of the tournament’s tightest matches, Blumberg held...
