...Days like this are always exciting,” Merritt said. “You can never predict the outcome. The team really needed to bring the energy and heart, and I think we did.” The defense keyed the Crimson’s victory, as the unit helped Mann record her ninth shutout of the season—two short of Harvard’s single-season record set by Katie Shields ’06. Taking into account the difficult field conditions caused by the morning rains, the defensive performance was all the more impressive...
...country against the run, allowing just over 85 yards on the ground per game. It’s second in the league in total defense and scoring defense, and leads it in sacks and interceptions (including a nation-best six picks from senior corner Steven Williams). Most impressively, the unit hasn’t allowed a second-half touchdown since Week 1.

It proves it can sell cars that sweep the breadth of the market...
...members of a citizens' paramilitary group led Iraqi and U.S. military officials to the main Haswah mosque, where they told officials that the gunmen were celebrating their recent kill. With permission from the highest echelon of the U.S. command and Iraqi government in Baghdad, a specially trained Iraqi Army unit raided the mosque while U.S. forces stood by with additional firepower. The Iraqi soldiers returned with a booty no one had expected: several local commanders of the Jaish al Mahdi, including the top commander in the region, who came in at number two on the Army's most wanted list...
