...hockey,” Chu said. “And for me it’s been so incredibly easy. It’s a testament to what a great fit Harvard has been for me. Academically, it probably took a little bit of time to shake off the rust on the reading and the essay portion of academics, but it’s really been great being able to go back to school. And especially play on the team, which I feel has always been kind of a family for me.”Ruggiero, despite her newfound fame...
...tennis team could not lift the Crimson past Northwestern in its home opener on Friday, as the Wildcats squeaked past Harvard in a contest that came down to the last set on court one. Though the Crimson appeared to have shaken off much of its early-season rust, Harvard fell, 4-3, to a Wildcat squad that was at times overpowering, at times too quick, but very often beatable.

The only furniture in the room was three narrow beds of rough wooden planks, one against the wall, the other...
...Delaney-Smith is quick to point out that Harvard’s challenges start with its own play. Before righting its ship with a thirty-point blowout win at Brown last Saturday, the Crimson dropped a 61-53 decision to what looked to be a beatable Yale team. Rust and lack of focus likely played important roles after Harvard missed three weeks of live competition for reading and exam periods...
