...local Nazi Kommandant spies her. Suspecting she is a Jew, instead of turning her in, he forces her to become his mistress.

The No. 8 Crimson (12-8-4, 7-4-4 ECAC) was blown away by Ivy rival Princeton (14-6-4, 10-3-2 ECAC) Friday night by a 6-1 margin. Although Harvard rallied to knock off Quinnipiac (9-16-5, 3-12-3 ECAC) Saturday with a 3-0 shutout, the stunning result against the Tigers left Harvard with an uphill battle in the regular season’s final...
