...Kaitlin Foley, who led all players with 22 points, gave Holy Cross its first lead, 46-44, on a layup. The Crusaders managed to keep the lead until Rollins netted one at the free-throw line to tie the game at 55. Holy Cross, however, responded with a three-pointer and never looked back, holding on for the win.Sophomore Niki Finelli anchored the offense for the second game in a row, leading all Crimson scorers with 13 points. Finelli went 3-for-4 from behind the arc and snatched six boards in another impressive effort. Co-captain Christiana Lackner recorded...
...inability to understand most human emotions gained him entry into a more “manly” standing in the room. Because Jay and Tom and I did not participate in contact athletics, the three of us often competed in intra-room competitions as “The Pointer Sisters,” a refreshingly sexist team name donned upon us by Mike, our gentle, dietary supplement-scarfing, MuscleMag-reading, IROC-racing, Naperville-native roommate.

Worst of all, Harvard ended the season fourth in the Ivy League standings—hardly a customary finish for one of Delaney-Smith’s teams.“It felt really weird, and it was a really hard experience...
...right place at the right time. He does the dirty work, boxes out, gets defensive boards. He plays hard and gets some easy baskets because of it.” Unger’s one basket that wasn’t a lay up was a three-pointer in the first half to give the Crimson a 20-17 lead. His ten points was one off his career high of eleven, which he dropped on Albany last year. The twelve points Lin and Unger combined for made up all the bench points. Last year, Harvard received that much help from...
