...break, the Crimson used several runs over the course of the second half to chip away at what proved to be an insurmountable deficit. The most key was a 12-2 spurt in the middle of the period—highlighted by six points from Markley—to narrow BU’s lead to just 10. A Markley jumper with nine minutes to play made the score 56-49—the most favorable deficit Harvard would see all night—but four different Terrier scorers contributed points over the next five minutes to push BU?...
...Displaying his increased confidence, Jantzen struck first, notching a takedown in the opening frame. Jaggers responded with an escape to narrow the lead to 2-1 at the end of the period. After a hard-fought but scoreless second, Jantzen found his tournament in jeopardy for the first time when Jaggers claimed a 3-2 lead with a reversal.

Andersen lost by a narrow margin of less than 200 votes to challenger Karl Rolvaag (out of 1.26 million votes cast). Andersen asked for a recount, which required some 100 teams of ballot reviewers to fan out across the state. The recount took 139 days, and the final tally gave the election to Rolvaag by 91 votes, but not before Andersen had already been sworn in as governor - albeit provisionally. Fortunately for Rolvaag, and for the state, Andersen...
