Maclaughlin is as sharp-eyed and as brusque as a boot camp sergeant. He spreads his legs, arching and throwing his head back yelling, "ARCHTHOUSAND, TWO THOUSAND, THREE THOUSAND, FOUR THOUSAND, FIVE THOUSAND, SIX THOUSAND, LOOK" he looks to his left heel. "LOOK."

Rung and Kronfeld also played perhaps their best games of the year, stringing together short passes to work the ball upfield, then dumping off to the two forwards or releasing shots themselves. Rung had one of Harvard's best opportunities mid-way through the opening half. He followed up his own cross from the right side, then fired the ball just over the cross-bar after UMass tried to clear...
