...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...

Notwithstanding the richness associated with Rolls-Royce and the costs involved in making each one, the unit is not a big expense for BMW, which has annual sales of $65 billion. BMW won't say how much it's invested in the company since 1998, though Rhys conservatively estimates it could be around $1.2 billion. BMW will certainly be happy to see Rolls generating profits, but they won't much affect the bottom line. But owning Rolls-Royce gives BMW some intangible benefits: prestige and bragging rights. It proves it can sell cars that sweep the breadth of the market...
