Despite playing into the fierce wind, it was the Crimson who created the better of the chances in the early stages of the second half. Akpan had a shot saved by Simmons, and Stamatis sent a shot wide after co-captain Michael Fucito’s strike was blocked...
However, the seizure of a Saudi-owned oil supertanker, the MV Sirius Star, and its 25-member crew early Saturday morning in the Indian Ocean might trigger new thinking on whether to launch such a strike.

The highlight of the drive was a 42-yard strike from Pizzotti to junior wideout Matt Luft, the second-longest play...
