...another pair of free throws to cap the run. Junior forward Evan Harris finally gave the Crimson a score to make it a seven-point game with 1:02 to play, but the team would not get any closer. “The key for us down the stretch was getting defensive stops,” Harris said. “We would do a good job for 30 seconds, but not finish. They did a great job of attacking our zone.” The late run by the Pioneers highlighted the two key stats in the game: turnovers...

Freshman Christine Matera came off the bench to hit two vital 3-pointers during that stretch.

I could stretch a one-pager into a double truck with ease. Man, I was feeling it. But so were some of my colleagues. Roid rage. It's as ugly in the newsroom as it is in the locker room. One night, I almost took a copy editor's head off for questioning my use of antecedents. My boss had to know, but he steered clear. That's how they...
