The men’s hockey team may have been a sizable underdog against No. 6 Harvard last weekend, but it certainly did not look that way come game time. Thanks in large part to Nick Lappin ’16, the Bears turned in their best performance of the year, taking down the Crimson by a final score of 2-1. It ...

Despite concerted efforts to hate him and the uniform he wears, I’ve always been in complete awe of Kobe Bryant. It’s the intensity, the competitiveness and the drive. Even the cold arrogance speaks to a certain admirable quality — there have never been any bells and whistles with Kobe. He didn’t ...

Last week, I was browsing TV channels when I stumbled upon the Boston Celtics taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves. After watching the game for less than a quarter, I was ready to stick needles in my eyes. The game was unbelievably boring. I was not surprised to see that most of the fans on screen were ...
After notching its first conference win in a decisive victory over Columbia last Saturday, the women’s basketball team looks to carry this momentum into the weekend when the squad hits the road to take on Harvard and Dartmouth.

There are few things in sports that truly shock me anymore. When you’re a kid, it’s easy to be amazed: the first time you see a buzzer beater, the ball swishing through the net in the glow of the neon red zeroes. It seems, in the literal sense of the word, unbelievable. The tiniest competitions ...
