...placed first and second after 18 holes, with scores of 79 and 80 respectively. Captain Jen Cronan and junior Jacqueline Rooney were one stroke behind them with a score of 81. Sophomore Jessica Hazlett rounded out the Crimson contingent with an 82 and a fifth-place finish. Yesterday, the rain held out, but windier conditions made the course significantly more difficult than on Saturday. Harvard was not able to continue its habit of outperforming itself on the second day, but managed to hold onto its lead. Bode and Hazlett both shot 82, allowing Bode to maintain her first-place position...

Racing was made difficult by the combination of cold, damp air and periods of heavy rain that increased the strength of the currents. “Normally there’s not that much current at Brown, but because it rained so much there were some weird current lines out there,” said Johnson, who also cited shifting breezes as an important factor...

It was the loss that shouldn’t have happened—not based on precedent, not based on the way the home team played. It was surreal that the dreams of a league title would be squelched this way.Harvard...
...last week, rising temperatures had turned the snow to rain, melting what had already fallen and drowning the entire region in a soup of water and mud. Officials ordered the helicopter evacuation of 2,200 visitors trapped in Yosemite National Park by the rising Merced River. Police in Northern California told some 95,000 people in Yuba City and Marysville to leave their homes as the Feather River overflowed its banks. A sinkhole in Seattle swallowed part of a gas station, while about 90 mud slides struck the area, burying roads, threatening homes and sweeping away the wooden supports...
