September 29, 1987: One is a lonely number--except if you're a member of the women's soccer team. One is all the women booters get. And one is all they need. The Crimson (4-0) tops Providence, 1-0, on a Karen Pinezich shot.

September 30, 1987: The Harvard field hockey team shows an amazing ability to do well against national powerhouses and do pathetically against local poorhouses. The nationally-ranked University of Connecticut Huskies are as good as any team in the country. So the Crimson knots the Huskies, 3-3, thanks to Sharon Landau, who scores with 16 seconds remaining in regulation play.

October 3, 1987: Yohe turns in an identical performance from the week before in helping the Crimson to a 33-14 victory over Bucknell.

The Crimson writes: "Tom Yohe now holds the record for the eighth best passing day in Harvard history."

"Tom Yohe now holds the record for the eighth best passing day in Harvard history.

"Note: you are not seeing double."

Once again, Yohe tosses for 265 yards. Once again, Harvard (3-0) triumphs.

The men's soccer team finishes in a 1-1 tie with Hartwick. And the women booters score only one goal again. As usual, it's enough--the Crimson defeats the University of Vermont, 1-0.

October 11, 1987: The Crimson football squad returns to the comfortable confines of the Ivy League and promptly loses. Cornell and its late-game aerial show prove too much.

With less than two minutes left in the game, Big Red receiver Shaun Hawkins streaks down the right side of the field, takes a pass from quarterback Dave Dase and bats the ball into the air. Then, he bats it again. Finally, he catches it and zips into the endzone. Cornell scores another touchdown before the gun goes off and triumphs, 29-17.

October 17, 1987: Crimson sports teams take to the Big Green seas and, for the most part, stay afloat.

Behind Tony Hinz's 152 yards rushing (on a mere 12 carries), the Harvard football squad drowns Dartmouth, 42-3. The victory puts the Crimson (2-1 Ivy League) into a second-place tie with three other schools, all one-half game behind Cornell.

The men's soccer team capitalizes on three first-half goals and boots Dartmouth, 4-1. Says Crimson forward Derek Mills, "It was the best game we've played this season."

The women's soccer team again cannot find the net. But Crimson goalie Tracee Whitley makes sure Dartmouth can't either. The 0-0 tie does not help the Crimson's drive for an Ivy championship, however.

The field hockey team falls out of the race for the Ivy title by knotting Dartmouth, 1-1. Lisa Cutone scores the lone Harvard goal.
