...just got to get our legs back.” Located just a few miles from each other, these teams played a close game in more ways than the final score could show. Each team fired 20 shots on the day, with the Crimson holding a slight 5-4 edge in corner kicks. In such a close matchup, veteran leadership—especially during Wylie and Rhodes’ goals—shone through. On a particularly young roster, Leone’s seniors made their presence felt. “I challenge each one of them all the time...

"It's really incredible; a slight variation of the track either way could have meant six more feet of storm surge," says Louisiana State University coastal scientist Robert Twilley, who studied Gustav's track. "I hope nobody gets a false sense of security." The barrier islands that once protected New Orleans have eroded, and most of the city's nearby...
