...Harvard enters this weekend’s matchup on a six-game unbeaten streak after Tuesday’s scoreless tie at Fairfield. Thus far, the season’s highlight reel includes a 2-1 win over previously-unbeaten Davidson, a 2-1 overtime victory over Northeastern, and, last weekend, a 1-1 draw with 12th-ranked Boston College. But if the team can’t start on the right foot against the Quakers, these high points will mean little. “It’s something we focus on all season,” Rhodes said...

Last season, it put a goal on the board in each of its first two games at the Hartford Invitational, but couldn’t grab a victory until its third contest against Northeastern.

There was one thing different about this year's monsoon in India. As in so many seasons past, the annual rains began in June, flooding streets and villages and claiming dozens of lives. But when the Kosi River burst its banks on Aug. 18 in the northeastern state of Bihar, the destruction was much worse than anyone expected. "It is not a normal flood, but a catastrophe," Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar told reporters after flying over the affected areas...
