...These are the existential blahs that critic Andrew Sarris called "Antoniennui." For audiences unable to get on the director's wavelength or into his measured rhythm, seeing his characters suffer in slow motion was like watching paint dry. Movies were supposed to move, not slouch against a wall, and the pace of Antonioni's movies was a special test for the antsy...

Senior forward Gillian Apps leads the country in that category with 1.19 goals per game. And the Big Green is no slouch on the defensive end, either. That unit also ranks fourth, allowing just 1.50 goals per contest. Harvard, however, is second in both fields, tallying 4.50 goals per game and permitting just 1.28. And sophomore Jenny Brine can match Apps in scoring acumen. Brine leads the nation with 20 goals, 15 power-play...
