My potatoes were stationed next to my inevitably fried pork product and mound of shredded cabbage—ostensibly, in order to ease digestion. I remember my first Polish potatoes: simply boiled and garnished with dill. Little did I know how many possibilities lie hidden in those tubers: there are many ways to kill a cat, but even more ways to cook a potato...
...clip, she pounded out 37 hits, 11 for extra-bases, and picked up a spot on the All-Ivy honorable mention team.

The campaign featured the continuing ascendancy of Haviland, Vance, and Wilson; the dynamic swan songs of standout seniors like slick-fielding shortstop and captain Morgan Brown; and the emergence of untapped talents like Brunnig, who in addition to going 4-0 on the mound, hit well in the designatted hitter spot, Chris Mackey, who contributed solid play in left field, and Meehan, who hit .330 in 22 starts. In all, it amounted to another winning season for Harvard, culminating in the unsettling reminder that the best laid plans, in baseball especially, often go awry...
...team’s 44 games this season. In 139 at-bats, she banged out 42 hits, drove in 15 runs, and ended the season with a team-best .518 slugging percentage. She also stole a team-best eight bases in as many attempts. On the mound, the sophomore pitching tandem of Madick and Watkins led the team with ERAs of 2.53 and 2.77, respectively. Watkins got the team’s Most Outstanding Pitcher Award. She was a second team All-Ivy selection and ended the season with a 6-10 record. Senior catcher Erin Halpenny and senior third...
