...arrival of Quinnipiac at Bright Hockey Center on Saturday provided the Harvard women’s hockey team with a chance for redemption after the previous night’s defeat. Coming off a tight 1-0 loss to divisional foe Princeton on Friday, the Crimson (6-6-3, 6-3-2 ECAC) took advantage of a shoddy Quinnipiac defense while simultaneously keeping scoring opportunities for the Bobcats (3-18-2, 2-7-2 to a minimum in a 3-1 victory. Saturday’s game also provided senior goaltender Brittany Martin with another chance to reestablish her previously...
...slump continues. The Harvard men’s hockey team fell to No. 8 Princeton, 5-1, Saturday night at the Baker Rink in the rivals’ first contest since last season’s ECAC playoff championship in which the Tigers (13-2-0, 8-1-0 ECAC) seized the title.

Already in recent days, Israeli forces struck a house of a Hamas leader while civilians were inside and bombed a mosque at Beit Lahiya believed by Israel to have been...
Armored columns began moving slowly and methodically into Gaza Saturday evening, each preceded by an armored bulldozer and supported by helicopters and drones giving Israeli commanders real-time images of the battle space for thousands of yards ahead of the lead bulldozer. Although Hamas had hoped to draw Israeli forces into hand-to-hand combat in the narrow warrens of Gaza's densely populated cities and refugee camps, the Israelis appear instead to be heading for the high ground, looking to seize strategic hilltops that would allow them to better control those parts of Gaza in which Hamas fighters...
