...Cornell (9-4, 4-0 Ivy) was fouled just outside of the circle. Big Red back Belen Martinez took the ensuing free hit and sent a hard pass towards the goal. Cornell forward Katie Kirnan stepped in front of the net and deflected the ball past senior goaltender Kylie Stone for the deciding goal.

There was therefore much excitement in 2001 when a reclusive Tel Aviv collector, Oded Golan, announced that a stone reliquary had come into his possession inscribed with the words "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus." The discovery of the ossuary was hailed in some quarters as a spectacular archaeological find - solidly circumstantial proof, at last, of Christ's existence.
