...Harvard, Sunday was a chance to end the preseason on a good note after losing three games in a row—including Friday’s 4-1 beating at the hands of No. 4 Boston College. The Terriers felt the same way. Coming off of its own three-game losing streak against Connecticut, No. 23 Pennsylvania State, and Northeastern, BU proved that it wanted to win, shutting out the Crimson...

On Sunday morning, finals for the doubles and singles brackets rounded out tournament play.

Obama, however, seems less than impressed with such arguments. Sunday morning, in an interview with the Spanish-language television network Univisión, he said that while he didn't think events like the Juanes concert hurt U.S.-Cuba relations, "I wouldn't overstate the degree that it helps."
