...always a death sentence in the Ivy League race, and the team rebounded with a turnover-free performance the next week to down Lafayette on the road, 24-17. The following Saturday, a Princeton team that also harbored championship aspirations came to Harvard Stadium. In a back-and-forth game, the Tigers used a fourth-down stop on their own five-yard line and a 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 7:21 to play, winning 27-24. It was the first time Princeton had defeated the Crimson since 1995. With two league losses, Harvard appeared...
...great goaltending,” said Harvard coach Katey Stone after the game. “A solid collective effort.” But not until late in the third period was the final result decided and the playoff upset made a reality.

Barlowski amazes with his ability to transform back-and-forth from an eighties’ Elvis Presley, gyrating all over the stage, to a touching Romeo, singing “Almost Paradise” in surprisingly sweet and melting tones to Ariel.Bala’s resonating voice and touching facial expressions brought me, not just to tears...
...orchestra into their performance of “Tristan und Isolde.” Beginning from the opera’s hesitant first bars, the orchestra ratcheted up the grand Wagnerian drama by a series of sympathetic cascades, each terminating in a foreboding quiver. In a fantastic back-and-forth between the strings’ woodwinds, Yannatos led the orchestra seamlessly between moods, in a progressive build that highlighted the orchestra’s flutes.Perhaps most impressive was the orchestra’s ability to avoid the maudlin bombast typically endemic of Wagner. From the almost minimalist interchange between...
