...which is the highest-ranked team that Harvard has faced this year and had won 13 straight entering the game, took command of the game from the opening whistle. In the first quarter, the Hawks put away three goals to establish a comfortable lead, and by halftime, they had stretched that to a 7-1 margin. “We got outplayed, and we got out-executed,” head coach Erik Farrar said. “We need to do a better job of putting the ball in the back of the net.” The Crimson...
...until the cars reach 81 mph. After a bump and release, as you would feel aboard a plane leaving the runway, it's pure, even, rapid acceleration to 310 mph. The only clue to the sheer speed is the tunnel lights outside: Standing 40 feet apart, they seem to stretch and blend until they appear as a single white stripe; very Buck Rogers. Outside the train makes a searing boom sound as it rips the surrounding air, but inside the car is as quiet as an airplane cabin, if a bit bumpy. Even before you've grown accustomed...
...media is often accused of sensationalizing crime. But that's hardly necessary in New Orleans, which has logged at least 53 homicides since the beginning of the year - the highest murder rate, per capita, in the nation.

...improved to 3-0 on its young season. CLASS OF 2004 CUP For the first half of the Black and White lightweights’ first varsity heat Saturday, it appeared that the squad would make a clean sweep of its rival Georgetown Hoyas. But the Hoyas charged down the stretch, making up a half a boat length over the final 1,000 meters to barely edge Radcliffe. The Georgetown first varsity eight posted a time of 6:48.7 to defeat the Black and White by less than a second. The lightweights relinquished their hold on the Class...
...comeback, as Martin hammered one into the back of the net to bring the score to 13-7. But Syracuse maintained control of the game, blowing by the Crimson on a four-goal run to widen the gap to 17-7. Harvard traded points with the Orange down the stretch, as Martin pounded in another shot and junior Ali Hines slammed in two of her own, but ripped off another four-score run to double up Harvard, 22-11. Simmons hammered in a shot, moving Harvard within 10, and Syracuse found the net one last time with 29 seconds left...
