Sophomores Sarah Logan and Elissa Hart led the way for Harvard with 15 and 11 kills, respectively...
...disco in Naha, the island's main city, and talked about grabbing an Okinawan girl and having some "fun." One man quickly backed out, but, he later told investigators, the other three, two Marines and a sailor, decided to cruise the seaside boulevards in search of prey...
