...halftime advantage. Starting the second half, Cornell’s Shanna Scarselletta took a layup to expand the Big Red’s lead, 33-25. Harvard responded a minute later with a layup by sophomore Claire Wheeler, but Cornell came back with a three pointer to take a nine-point lead. “I knew once we had momentum our team would kick off,” Tay said. Led by Tay and sophomore Christine Matera—who knocked in two three pointers with 15 minutes left on the clock—the Crimson continued to fight...
...notched a fall to give Harvard its first victory of the season over a talented Stanford squad. The six-point forfeit deficit proved crucial in three- and eight-point losses to Cal Poly and Minnesota.Freshman Spencer Desena (2-5) bounced back from a difficult Midlands performance to notch a decision against the Mustangs, and Picarsic (2-1) earned his second victory of the day, but winning five of 10 bouts could not stave off defeat for the Crimson.Despite a nine-point deficit to open the final match, Harvard led the Golden Gophers through eight bouts.

...five players scored in double figures. Junior guard Jeremy Lin led the team with 18 points, with freshman forward Peter Boehm adding 14 and Pusar scoring a season-best 12.

Jesse Helms must be spinning in his grave. Elizabeth Dole, the wife of former GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole, won Helms' North Carolina Senate seat by a comfortable nine-point margin after he vacated it in 2002. Then in 2006, as head of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee, Dole managed to hand control of the Senate to Democrats by presiding over a surprise loss of six seats. Now Dole is in danger of losing Helms' seat itself to Democratic State Senator Kay Hagan - and perhaps handing the Democrats a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority in the process...
...burnished by a series of subsequent elections in which black candidates saw solid leads shrink or vanish once voters cast their ballots. In 1983, Harold Washington escaped with a narrow win in Chicago's mayoral election after being projected a decisive victor. In 1989, Douglas Wilder held a nine-point lead on the eve of Virginia's gubernatorial election, and won by less than one percentage point. That same year, David Dinkins' 18-point lead in New York City's mayoral race evaporated in the voting booths, though he still eked out a nail-biter over Rudy Giuliani...
