...eight of its last nine games. Harvard knew that a win yesterday translated into sole possession of the title. While the Quakers forced freshman keeper Austin Harms into two early saves, it was Harvard who took the upper hand.

Fucito had a strike go just wide of the post, and junior Andre Akpan and senior John Stamatis were both denied by Penn keeper Drew Healy.The second half started just like the first had ended, as Harvard continued to threaten...

...impossible and the inevitable seemed to fade for the second time in a week. Many of the students had come to school Wednesday after going to the voting booths with their parents, while others had stayed out late to listen to Obama's victory speech broadcast over loudspeakers near 125th Street. That same day they wrote letters to the president-elect. "I want to change things, too", wrote Fortune Nbumbo, 7. Tatiana Jones, 9, told Obama, "You open the door not just for me, but for everybody."
