...most artful goal of the night belonged to Northeastern's Stephanie Acres. The freshman, who assissted on the go-ahead score, avoided a check by sophomore Jen Gerometta and netted a beautiful wrap-around goal with under five minutes to play in the first period that gave the Huskies a 3-1 lead heading into the first intermission...

...video should also give the singer a boost. The lush clip, inspired by the movie The Color Purple (one scene takes place in a jook joint), is receiving heavy play on Black Entertainment Television, and Badu, in her distinctive head wrap, cuts a sleek, striking figure. Badu hopes that she can help change what she calls the "monotonous" nature of contemporary R. and B. "I want to be the midwife to a new sound," she says.

...Relativity (ABC) At first this new drama from Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz seemed a tad too precious, a touch too eager to wrap up its conflicts with tidy bows. But the series, focused on a pair of new young lovers, quickly managed to ground itself more firmly in the rhythms of a real relationship.
