...attackman Evan Calvert out for the second straight week with an ankle injury, the Crimson was plagued by a failure to capitalize on scoring opportunities again, as Harvard (0-2) fell to Stony Brook (1-1) by a 13-8 score in front of 1,542 fans at LaValle Stadium in Long Island, N.Y. Despite 50 shots on the afternoon—31 of which were on goal—the Crimson managed just four goals from its starting attackman unit of senior Greg Cohen, junior Liam Griff, and sophomore Max Motschwiller. That came in contrast with a Seawolves squad...
Harvard sports fans sticking around campus this summer, fear not: there’s a new option coming to town to satisfy your athletic itch. Major League Lacrosse’s Boston Cannons have inked a deal to play their 2007 home games at Harvard Stadium, making the Cannons the first professional sports franchise in 37 years to regularly compete at the venue.

Although the stadium plans were ultimately shelved, local pols took the Hyde Park native seriously and agreed to shell out $200 million to aid in construction costs...
...beautiful game has turned even uglier. Italy's long-simmering epidemic of fan violence turned deadly last week when a 38-year-old police officer was killed by rioters outside a stadium in Sicily. Games were cancelled last weekend, and this week the government imposed new measures to curb this hooliganism all'italiana. The policies in fact are largely inspired by the relatively successful British effort to quiet unrest from the notably rowdy spectators in England's football leagues. Among the most immediate effects is that home teams must play in empty stadiums if their security apparatus is inadequate, which...
