...this game here this evening,” Amaker said.Harvard grabbed the lead at the 15:11 mark when a pass to Magnarelli in the paint bounced off his hands straight to junior guard Andrew Pusar, who converted a lay-up for a 48-47 lead. After Northeastern retook the lead with a lay-up and the Crimson turned it over, Lin came up with a steal and fed Housman for a fast-break basket. On the team’s next offensive possession, Housman drove and dished to junior forward Evan Harris...
Trailing 3-0, the Crimson retook the lead on one swing in the top of the second. Murphy, who entered the day holding the Ivy League single-season home run record with 17, had been walked intentionally in three of her four times plate appearances in the first game.

Despite Crimson attempts to regroup at halftime, Anangnostopaulos scored her second goal only 3:42 after the teams retook the field.

The lopsided score allowed Walsh a chance to send some of her less experienced players...

In 1948 there was widespread disappointment with the Republican-held "do nothing" Congress. It turned out to be an easy target for President Truman's Democrats, who retook both chambers. Such waves can sneak up. In September 1994 a Congressional Quarterly columnist, voicing the conventional wisdom of the time, wrote that the G.O.P.'s chances of taking the House were "dim." Two months later, Newt Gingrich and company capitalized on disaffection with the Democrats that peaked on Election...
