John Kamin, 23, a student at Hofstra University in New York who uses Facebook, says it's "absurd" to associate the social network with poor grades or lack of aptitude. "It's a networking tool for people," says Kamin, who adds that he spends about an hour a day on Facebook, far less time than he spends playing the addictive game Brick Breaker on his BlackBerry - there's that question of users' distractability and tendency to procrastinate. But, Kamin says, "I don't think someone is more or less intelligent because they sign up for it." (See pictures...
...squad with a .375 batting average. Tamsin—who also leads the team in hits (36), RBI (18), total bases (53), slugging percentage (.552) and on-base percentage (.487)—became Northeastern’s all-time hits leader on March 28 in a game against Hofstra.“[Tamsin] puts the ball in the seats,” Walsh said. “He is one of the best hitters in New England. We are going to pitch him very carefully—he’s the guy that scares...
Unlike junior co-captains No. 10 Louis Caputo and No. 4 J.P. O’Connor, the Harvard wrestling team did not go undefeated this past weekend. Harvard (5-12, 2-3 Ivy) hosted Columbia, No. 22 Hofstra, and No. 2 Cornell at the Malkin Athletic Center Friday and Saturday for senior weekend. The Crimson tackled Columbia (3-14, 1-4 Ivy League) first, overcoming the Lions, 25-18. Up next, the No. 22 Pride (10-6) proved to be more of a challenge, defeating Harvard, 31-11. Last on the line-up was wrestling powerhouse...
...more than 90 minutes to settle a game this season. Harvard went to overtime in four straight games in September and emerged unbeaten (one win, three ties). Northeastern saw its mettle tested—and conference title locked up—with a 1-0 double-overtime victory over Hofstra in the Colonial Athletic Association championship game last week. So while the teams were mentally prepared for the extra sessions, their play lacked the crispness that was on display earlier in the game.“It was a physical contest at the end of a long season...
...their last matchup on Sept. 17 this year, the Huskies took the Crimson to overtime, but Harvard pulled out the win, 2-1. This time around, Northeastern is coming in hot after taking the CAA Championship in dramatic fashion. The Huskies earned a 1-0 double-overtime victory over Hofstra in the final. This is the first-ever NCAA appearance for the Northeastern women’s program. Harvard has not made the end-of-season championship since 2004, when it lost to Connecticut 2-0 in the first round. If the squad advances, it will likely face Boston College...
