...space to make better decisions.” “It’s really frustrating,” tri-captain Sarah Vaillancourt said. “We have been playing defense that’s not awful, but every time we seem to make a small stupid mistake, the teams always seem to get by. And they are mistakes that we shouldn’t make.” Despite the initial setback, Harvard came back to tie the game at 15:38. Senior Sarah Wilson scored her eighth goal of the season, assisted by Vaillancourt...

Early on the morning of Dec. 9, federal Marshals woke him up with a predawn phone call, then arrived at his front door and handcuffed him shortly thereafter.

He faces the prospect of 30 years in prison on charges of conspiring to commit mail...
