...circle deflected into the Crimson goal, launching the Crusaders to an early lead. After a significant stalemate, Harvard again became the victim of the Holy Cross onslaught. With 12 minutes remaining in the first period, the Crusader offense pelted sophomore goalie Kelly Knoche with a whirlwind attack. Knoche exhibited superhuman agility, raking up half of the game’s eight saves in only two minutes. Nonetheless, the Crusaders’ persistence prevailed.

If their faces were not constantly displayed on ESPN they would be hard to distinguish from anyone else; this is especially true for many of the pitchers, who tend to be on the flabby side. One player in particular, thirteen-year veteran and Indians closer Bob Wickman (6’1 240 lbs.), could easily pass for a regular local patron at the Hong Kong, perched on a bar stool next...
