...post players last year,” Delaney-Smith said. “No one who actually liked the low post game. I haven’t had a true low post player in 20 years here. But you can’t pound these kids.”With a solid rotation of Rollins, Budischak, Lackner, freshman Emma Moretzsohn, and sophomore Lauren Fried, Harvard rarely runs into foul trouble and can set up in three-forward sets that exploit smaller defensive units. Last year, the perimeter-oriented McCaffery was often forced to play the power forward slot. This year...

By law, the U.S. Department of Agriculture can't allow more than 1 million tons of sugar imports annually without a change in policy.
