At stake this Friday night in the Harvard-Duke lacrosse game will bragging rights, national standings and...the Lowe’s Senior Class Award?

About a month ago, I wrote that senior midfielder Jason Duboe had been nominated for the award. Duboe just got one step closer to winning it yesterday when he was named one of ten finalists. The senior was a preseason All-American honorable mention and has also been named to two Tewaaraton Watch lists and the preseason All-Ivy team. Duboe was also a first team All-New England selection the past two seasons.

Brandyn Curry, a two-time Ivy Rookie of the Week this season, will undergo surgery Wednesday.

He led all Ivy freshmen in assists, steals, and three-point shooting percentage. But perhaps the most impressive thing about guard Brandyn Curry's rookie season—a year in which he earned an honorable-mention All-Ivy selection from Basketball-U.com while twice being named Ivy League Rookie of the Week—was that he was playing hurt.

Curry said today that he plans to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a torn left patellar tendon—an injury suffered at the end of his senior year at Hopewell High (N.C.).

And while we all may enjoy a quick pick up game with friends, the occasional wayward toss can turn the Yard into somewhat of a minefield for unsuspecting tourists.

These unfortunate collisions could be a sign that we ought to work on our technique, or maybe just leave the sport to the members of Red Line and Quasar, Harvard’s men’s and women’s Ultimate Frisbee club teams.

This morning, the College Squash Association named her a first-team All-American, an accolade that Gemmell easily deserved after finishing her campaign with a perfect 16-0 record.

Gemmell was not the only member of the national champion women’s squash team to be honored. Four of her upperclassmen teammates were named to the second team: co-captain Johanna Snyder, juniors Alisha Mashruwala and June Tiong, and sophomore Nirasha Guruge.

Winter's Tale

Collier Winters added another athletic accomplishment to his resumé this weekend—3-on-3 basketball champion.

Have you ever wanted to go head-to-head with some of Harvard's best athletes? Yesterday, you had your chance.

Following the excitement of March Madness, the Harvard Cancer Society’s 3-on-3 tournament took place yesterday afternoon. The event raised over $300 for the Jimmy Fund, a Boston-based charity group that supports cancer research for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and targeted a different audience than many other HCS events.
