...course there are a few quibbles. The songs repeat their best lines ("You always used to be a virgin/ But it's so hard to tell these days") too often.

Gurry's goals gave the Crimson its highest finish in the national tournament since 1955 and insured Harvard its best season record (19-8-1) since...
