...most dominant aspect of Cusworth’s game was blocked shots. The 7’0 center rejected a league-best 45 attempts this season—12 better than hisnearest competitor in four fewer games. Cusworth already has 67 blocks for his career, which ranks third-best in Harvard history and leaves him just 15 shy of Bill Ewing ’99 for second...
...Saturday, Scherf ran 16:23.63 in the 5,000-meter race, good enough for second place overall, and the third-best time in Indoor Heptagonals history. A day later, she followed up that record-setting performance by finishing the 3,000-meter in 9:26.32—good enough for third. Scherf actually led the race on yesterday until the 10th lap, when she was finally passed by Caroline Bierbaum of Columbia—who had beaten her a day earlier in the 5,000-meter run. Lindsay Donaldson of Yale ended up winning yesterday, posting a time...
...Lions’ best player, forward Matt Preston, accounted for much of that stingy post defense. Preston, whose 15.1 points per game is good for third-best in the Ivy League, scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the teams’ first meeting. At 6’5, the swingman is an extremely difficult cover for Harvard’s bigger frontcourt players, and uses his smaller stature to an advantage on the defensive end by getting superior position and leverage in the post...
Rookie Dimma Kalu won the 60-meter dash in a time of 7.81 and the 200-meter race in 25.82. Earlier in the season, Kalu ran 7.77 for the shorter sprint and 25.13 for the longer—both of which place her as the third-best runner events in the Ivy League in those...
...most crucial of those mental lapses occurred at 14:34 in the third period when, while playing 4-on-4, Harvard got caught looking for a breakaway on offense before solidifying its defense and gaining control of the puck. The mistake led to a game-tying goal by UMD’s Jessica Koizumi and prevented the Crimson from walking away with a 2-1 victory over the third-best team in the nation...
