...only goal. Her coach, Sue Caples, would gladly note that her 1-0 game-breaker, good through half-time, was one of the few times Harvard has led at intermission against any opponent this year. Senior Jane Sackovich did her part to sacrifice her body, laying out on the turf of Jordan Field over and over again, seemingly knowing that this would be her final opportunity to do what nearly three generations of Crimson field hockey had been unable to achieve. And sophomore Siobhan Connolly was stellar between the pipes, notching eight saves as the replacement for injured freshman...

Thankfully, Big Beer didn’t count on two things which will inevitably stymie their efforts. First, trying to take the drinking out of Beirut is like taking the “eer” out of “beer.” There’s nothing...

Constant rainfall and a broken drainage system hadn’t improved the conditions by kickoff Saturday, despite clear skies.
