...years ago, it saved what may go down as the greatest season in Harvard football history. Last season, it was the only blemish on the resume of the eventual Ivy League champs.But on the eve of this year’s Ivy League opener against Brown (1-0) on Saturday afternoon at Brown Stadium in Providence, R.I., the Crimson (1-0) has a slightly different plan in mind—win, but without the last-second drama.“I don’t think you can roll the dice for a third time...
...date this season, the Harvard men’s soccer team has not been perfect, but they have been clicking with almost complete fluidity. The only blemish in the 4-1-0 record to date has been a 4-3 season-opening loss to Old Dominion—and even in that match, the Crimson came back with a fighting instinct not seen in a few years on Ohiri Field when they scored three goals in a six-minute span late in the game to tie it at 3-3.

As Defense Secretary under Reagan, the anti-Soviet hard-liner presided over a $2 trillion peacetime military buildup--the biggest in U.S. history--and backed Reagan's controversial, never implemented Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars. After finding himself at odds with Reagan...
...period, welcoming Goulding with a powerful slap-shot from the left boards. Only two and a half minutes later, however, Dartmouth scored its only goal of the night, as Nick Johnson one-timed a cross-crease feed past Daigneau at the left post. But that was the only blemish on Harvard’s score sheet, as Daigneau and backup Justin Tobe combined to shut out the potent Big Green offense for the rest of the period. The Crimson’s attack, however, did not let up, tallying three more goals as the Cornell fans waiting for the second...
