...defeat against Cornell, before finally notching an Ivy win later that day. The success quickly spread, as Harvard proceeded to reel off nine more wins. The Crimson used the 10-game winning streak to jump-start a 17-5 record over its final 22 regular season games, an impressive stretch that included sweeps of Columbia, Penn, Holy Cross, and Yale. Harvard hit a collective .297, good enough for second in the Ivy League. Leading the way for the Crimson was freshman Ellen Macadam, who hit at a .371 clip. The rookie also found success on the base paths. Macadam stole...

The cheerleaders fell silent, the fans began to collect their belongings, and the Princeton bench afforded itself an opportunity to sit back and relax. That’s when the Crimson struck. Head coach Tommy Amaker commanded his players to shift into a full press. The change was followed...
...after they moved up their primaries in defiance of the party's rules. Clinton's rhetorical war on behalf of the two states has grown increasingly heated, as she has likened the dispute to the 2000 Florida recount, the 1960s fight for civil rights - and, in an even bigger stretch, the election standoff in Zimbabwe. But the meeting is Clinton's last remaining glimmer of hope to catch Obama, who currently leads the race by around 160 pledged delegates, with only three primaries remaining, in Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota...
