...with the Raiders, then-freshman guard Drew Housman exploded for a season-best 21 points. 15 of those came in the second frame. Lin has shown a similar ability to perform down the stretch so far in his rookie season. In the final seconds of overtime against UNH, he stole a Wildcats inbounds pass and took it the length of the court for the game-winning basket. Unless Colgate learned its lesson last year about the need to watch out for Harvard freshmen, Lin could surprise the Raiders and be the difference-maker again on Saturday. This will...
...oldest players in its rotation to defeat New Hampshire 83-81 in overtime at the Lundholm Gymnasium in Durham, New Hampshire. After captain guard Jim Goffredo’s three-pointer tied the game at 81-81 with just over a minute left in overtime, freshman guard Jeremy Lin stole the Wildcats’ inbounds pass after UNH (1-5) had called timeout.

Ortega, who was then Nicaragua's President, called it a justified "confiscation" on behalf of the Marxist revolution that he and his Sandinista Front were leading. Morales became a leader of the U.S.-backed contra army that waged a civil war with the Sandinistas.

...rebound and tucked it in to give Harvard the lead. “We definitely bumped it up. We had a sense of urgency,” Solley said. “We knew that time was winding down.” Shortly after play resumed, Johnston deftly stole the puck and rocketed it past Cornell goalkeeper Jenny Niewsluchowski for a 3-1 lead. Nine seconds later, Harvard struck again. Freshman defenseman Kathryn Farni passed the puck to Solley, who shot from the right circle towards the upper right corner of the goal.
