...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.

Trailing 3-0, the Crimson retook the lead on one swing in the top of the second.

Despite Crimson attempts to regroup at halftime, Anangnostopaulos scored her second goal only 3:42 after the teams retook the field. The freshman dribbled through Harvard’s defense to a prime shooting spot in the center of the box, then launched a shot from outside ten yards that beat Mann low on her left. The lopsided score allowed Walsh a chance to send some of her less experienced players...

...scientists call "wave elections," in which voters oust even lawmakers who don't seem vulnerable and political icons lose to underfunded unknowns. 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."
