...while No. 2 Denenberg and Valkin lost, 8-3. Hayes and Nguyen, playing at No. 3, won, 8-6.“Michael started playing loud, with a ton of energy,” Nguyen said.Valkin’s play in singles was also solid, as he won, 7-6, 6-2, at No. 5 and was the first off the court.After Valkin’s win, though, Harvard’s roar became a whimper, as the Crimson lost four straight matches at No. 1-4.At No. 1, Clayton lost, 6-3, 7-5, in a match that...
...forced the Pioneers to make poor decisions and weak passes that led to turnovers and steals by the Harvard defenders. Mueller set the pace for the Crimson defensively, recording five steals in the game. “Last week we had been practicing really hard on doing a really solid press, and that really showed,” Snyder said.

Perhaps the strongest criticism of this album is that its charmingly packaged and charmingly delivered songs lack any hidden depth. There is little...
...busy? Her previous two albums flew under the radar (especially her near-universally panned effort, “The Id”), and her newest work, “Big,” doesn’t seem to contain any breakout hits. However, it’s a solid album that traverses the gap between Gray’s old-school soul stylings, modern R&B, and even hip-hop influences. “Okay” is probably the catchiest song of the bunch. It’s hard to play this song without doing a dance...
