The Carter Center, which has been working to eradicate guinea worm disease since 1986, received a pledge of $25 million from the foundation this year.

...Last Feb. 5 in Hanover, N.H., it was record-setting superstar Nicole Corriero ’05 potting five goals to push the Crimson past Dartmouth. But last night it was the new addition, freshman Jenny Brine, who inherited the digit shining with a three-goal performance in a thorough 4-1 conquest of the Big Green. “Maybe nine’s a lucky number,” Brine said.

The No. 10 Crimson (6-4-2, 4-2-2 ECAC) dealt the hapless Dutchwomen (2-8-0, 0-6-0) a pair of thorough beatings, while giving its reserve goaltenders the starts between the pipes and receiving goals from an unusual variety of sources. The annual double dip with overmatched Union, which has now lost 28 straight conference tilts, afforded Harvard coach Katey Stone the chance to rest certain starters, experiment with the lineup, and build momentum...
