...that the final turn—in Purdue’s favor—felt almost anticlimactic.That swing came in the form of a missed backhand volley by No. 3 Junior Dan Nguyen with the score knotted at 10-10 in a third set tiebreaker. The volley did not stretch Nguyen much—four feet from the net, at a seemingly comfortable height—but Nguyen underestimated, punching the ball into the net and then hobbling away, with a cramped left quadriceps and a burning desire for a do-over.“If I could only have...

I’m not so sure how exciting it was for them to watch me stretch during warm-ups before football games. Her GPA trumps mine, and I have a really difficult time trying to explain to people that Harvard’s infamous grade inflation applies to her, but not to me. Kirsten is also involved some impressive student organizations and other extracurricular activities...
