...Harvard was able to shake off a sluggish first half, which found it up by only three points, 23-20, at the break. “We were a little tight in the first half,” co-captain forward Maureen McCaffery said. “We let URI have some runs and we weren’t hitting shots.” “In the second half, we had really focused on playing defense, getting shots,” she added. “We really had strong focus and our shots started to fall...

So far we have two to three thousand blankets...
