...Equal Exchange, countercultural thinking comes naturally. Employees ride bicycles and trains to pickup spots to minimize auto emissions en route to company headquarters in an industrial park in West Bridgewater. The office wing resembles a college dormitory: tapestries cover walls, posters plead for peace, an acoustic guitar sits atop the desk of Rob Everts, Dickinson's copresident and a former organizer of California farmworkers.

The majority of the frame was spent in the UConn zone, until a late slashing penalty by freshman right wing Sarah Wilson gave the Huskies a power play and put some much-needed pressure on Boe, who, despite the early miscue, played a strong game...
