...check. I knew Dinosaur Jr. shows are supposed to be loud; “wall of sound” is often thrown around by reviewers. Grizzled Dinosaur fanatics stood by the wall in faded black sweatshirts, seemingly having not showered since Lou got the boot.When I got downstairs, disappointment swept over me. Dinosaur’s merch table was piled high with $20 albums and shirts of a band only recently excavated. They even had albums by Sebadoh and J Mascis and the Fog, as if the show’s whole point was to further the careers...
...hockey team, which fell just out of the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine top-15 poll after Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Yale, faces struggling Quinnipiac tonight at 7 in the Bright Hockey Center. The Bobcats (9-9-0, 3-7-0 ECAC) were swept last weekend by No. 12 Colgate and No. 13 Cornell, and after a 2-0 league start, Quinnipiac is tied for eighth in the ECAC. Meanwhile, Harvard (7-4-1, 6-4-0) lost to Yale after eight days of rest, but tonight’s matchup is the middle of the Crimson?...
...criticize him. The U.S. and Europe have repeatedly condemned Belarus as an outpost of tyranny.

All other Harvard players swept their opponents in three games: freshman Verdi DiSesa played at the third position, junior Garnett Booth played at the fourth, sophomore Chessin Gertler at the fifth, and junior Todd Ostrow at the ninth. “It shows that we’re progressing here,” said captain Will Broadbent...
...roster ever having lost to Cornell, and that streak continued Saturday. No Crimson player struggled to dispatch her competition, and Harvard’s top three—freshman No. 1 Lily Lorentzen, junior No. 2 Kyla Grigg, and sophomore No. 3 Supriya Balsekar—all swept their Big Red opponents with little difficulty. Junior No. 5 Audrey Duboc had her customary vocal cheering section on hand to see her defeat Allison Laycob 3-0. “I like to rally the troops for matches, get everyone down here,” Duboc said. “It?...
