The Harvard women’s hockey team is set to face off against Colgate and Cornell in a crucial ECAC series. The Crimson will travel to Hamilton, New York, to take on the Colgate Raiders on Friday, before heading to Ithaca, New York, to face the Cornell Big Red on Saturday.

The series is significant, as both games are against conference opponents and will have a major impact on the team’s standings in the ECAC. Harvard is currently ranked third in the conference, with Colgate and Cornell sitting in sixth and second place, respectively. A sweep of the series would be a huge boost to the Crimson’s chances of securing a top-two spot in the conference and earning a first-round bye in the ECAC tournament.

The Crimson is led by a strong offense, with multiple players having already surpassed the 20-point mark on the season. The team’s defense has also been solid, with a goals-against average of just over two goals per game. Goaltender Lindsay Reed has been a key factor in the team’s success, posting a.923 save percentage and a 2.23 goals-against average.

Colgate, meanwhile, has struggled to find consistency this season. The Raiders have shown flashes of brilliance, but have also suffered some tough losses. They will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Princeton last weekend and will be eager to prove themselves against one of the top teams in the conference.

Cornell, on the other hand, has been one of the top teams in the ECAC all season. The Big Red has a high-powered offense, led by several players with over 20 points on the season. Their defense has also been stout, allowing just over two goals per game. Cornell will be looking to stay hot and maintain their position near the top of the conference standings.

The series will be a tough test for the Crimson, but they are confident in their abilities and are looking forward to the challenge. With a strong team effort, Harvard is capable of coming away with a sweep and taking a big step forward in the ECAC standings. The games are set to be intense and closely contested, with both teams giving it their all in pursuit of victory. The Crimson will need to be at the top of their game if they hope to come away with a pair of wins.

The Boston University women’s basketball team secured a 58-54 win over the Colgate Raiders on Saturday, thanks to timely shooting and hustle plays. The Terriers struggled to score for most of the game, but sophomore guard Rose Azmoudeh’s two 3-pointers in the final minutes gave them a 1-point lead. Azmoudeh’s defensive pressure also led to a crucial Colgate turnover, which forced the Raiders to intentionally foul senior forward Anete Adler, allowing the Terriers to extend the game.

Adler and fellow senior forward Anastasiia Semenova led the Terriers’ offense, each scoring 16 points. Azmoudeh added 14 points, including four 3-pointers, and a season-high three steals. The team’s defense was a key factor in the win, forcing 17 turnovers that led to 15 Terrier points. Despite struggling to find an offensive rhythm, shooting just 38.5% from the field and 31.6% from 3, the Terriers were able to rely on their defense to stay in the game.

Head coach Melissa Graves praised her team’s effort, saying, “Just really proud… having a lot of pride in that we were able to pull it out for our alumni and now we’re able to celebrate with them a little bit.” The win was especially sweet, coming on Alumni Weekend at Case Gym, where a crowd of former BU players were in attendance. The Terriers’ victory gives them consecutive wins for the second time this season, but they know they can’t rest on their laurels with a tough matchup against Patriot League-leading Navy next.

The team is determined to build on their momentum, with Semenova saying, “Just keep working on whatever’s been working for us… have to keep emphasizing the turnovers in practice and then boxing out.” The Terriers will look to make it three straight wins when they travel to Annapolis to play Navy on Wednesday. With their defense and hustle plays leading the way, the team is confident they can continue to succeed in the Patriot League. As Adler noted, “When we get the shot-clock violation, we’re fired up… it goes to our offense as well. When we have more energy, it feeds us in offense.”

The Harvard men’s ice hockey team secured a 3-1 win over the Colgate Raiders, sweeping their regular season series. The Crimson dominated the game with superior positioning and early shot conversion, riding the confidence of three straight victories. Harvard’s freshman forward Aidan Lane had an early chance, but was denied by Colgate’s senior netminder Andrew Takacs. However, the Crimson’s freshman defenseman Donato Bracco scored his first career goal on the power play, giving Harvard a 1-0 lead.

In the second period, Harvard blew the game open with two more goals. A lucky goal from sophomore forward Mick Thompson, who had been struggling to convert shots, extended the lead to 2-0. Junior forward Ben MacDonald then scored a one-timer goal, making it 3-0. The Raiders struggled to find their footing, but managed to score a goal in the third period on a power play, courtesy of senior forward Simon Labelle.

Despite Colgate’s efforts to salvage the game, Harvard’s defense held strong, and the team secured its fourth-straight win. The Crimson will face a major challenge in their next game against the No. 12 Cornell Big Red, a team that handed them their first regulation loss this season. One area for improvement for Harvard is the faceoff battle, which they lost 43-18 to Colgate.

The win marks a significant turnaround for Harvard, which had previously struggled with a 0-4 slog. The team’s momentum will be put to the test against Cornell, and they will need to improve their faceoff performance to set themselves up for success. The game against Cornell will be streamed on ESPN+ at 7:00 p.m. EST.

Harvard’s players showed strong performances, with Thompson and MacDonald contributing to the team’s goals. The Crimson’s defense also held strong, with Takacs making several saves to deny Colgate’s scoring chances. The team’s ability to capitalize on power plays and create scoring opportunities will be crucial in their upcoming game against Cornell. With their current momentum, Harvard will look to continue their winning streak and improve their standing in the ECAC.

The County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency (COMIDA) has approved incentives for a housing development on the former Colgate Divinity campus in Rochester, New York. The project, led by developer Mark IV Enterprises, aims to transform the 14-acre site into a mixed-use community with a mix of housing types, including apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes.

The COMIDA board approved a package of tax incentives, including a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) agreement, which will provide significant tax savings to the developer over a 15-year period. The PILOT agreement will allow the developer to make annual payments based on a percentage of the project’s overall value, rather than paying traditional property taxes.

The project is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the area, including the creation of construction jobs and the potential for new businesses to locate in the area. The development will also help to revitalize a long-vacant site, which has been empty since the Colgate Divinity School relocated to a new campus in 2011.

The housing development will include a range of unit types and prices, with a focus on creating affordable and workforce housing options. The project will also include amenities such as parks, trails, and community spaces, which will be available to residents and the broader community.

The approval of the tax incentives by COMIDA is a significant milestone for the project, which has been in development for several years. The project has received support from local officials and community groups, who see it as an opportunity to bring new investment and energy to the area.

The next steps for the project include finalizing the design and engineering plans, obtaining necessary permits, and beginning construction. The developer expects to break ground on the project in the coming months, with completion anticipated within the next few years. Overall, the approval of incentives for the Colgate Divinity campus development is a positive step forward for the project, and is expected to have a significant impact on the local community and economy.

The incentives are expected to save the developer around $10 million over the 15-year period, which will be used to offset the costs of developing the site. The project is expected to generate around $1 million in annual tax revenue for the county and local municipalities, once it is completed.
