...twice, while fellow rookies Luka Babic and Kevin DiSilvestro each added a goal as the Crimson reserves enjoyed a share of playing time in the second half.IONA 15, HARVARD 10In its best effort of the weekend, Harvard challenged the Gaels (5-8) throughout the contest, spotting the visitors a slim 6-4 advantage at the half. Nikhil Balaraman effectively spelled Connolly in the afternoon game, notching 10 saves, but his counterpart Eric Konzem came through with clutch saves for Iona.

She's obsessed with what will happen to her property and belongings but declines to spell it out in her will. Scob, who nearly a half-century ago was the muse of the remarkable director George Franju (Eyes Without a Face, Thérese Desqueyroux, Judex), has an ingrained insight into the character that not only presents Hélene in her 70s but suggests the kind of mother she must have been. There's also a taut sensuality...
