...Terriers scoreless. “We wanted to focus a lot on our defense,” Caples said. “I think the team executed well.” Harvard and BU both recorded three shots each the second half, but the goalies for both teams were perfect and stopped everything from entering the cage. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, sophomore Chloe Keating was issued a green card. “There was a little aggressive play,” Caples said. “The umpires were just trying to keep it down...
...Only bring enough pies for yourself, so that the focus can be all on you. Next comes the date event (and if you play your cards right, it could be the mate event...for whichever member goes home with your girlfriend). The date event is all about selecting the perfect girl. Find one that’s cute, but not too cute. Talkative, but not too talkative. Sultry, but not salty.

An industry more concerned with ratings than information, more conscious of sizzle than substance, sold the public propaganda that they had received straight from the campaigns...
...Princeton on Saturday, the Crimson needed a similar effort from its talented sophomore to take over first place in the Ivies. Just 22 seconds into the game, Sheeleigh delivered when took the ball up the right side of the goal, dribbled past the entire Tiger defense, and crossed a perfect ball to the foot of junior Kelli Okuji, who rocketed a shot in for her first goal of the season. Sheeleigh then nailed a free kick from 30 yards out just seven minutes later. Harvard never looked back. “We came into this game with...
