Daily Digits

100- Yards Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison ran after intercepting a pass from Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner on Sunday, recording the longest play in Super Bowl history. Harrison, who needed an oxygen tank after recording the touchdown, finished the game with four tackles in a 27-23 Steeler win. With just 19 seconds left in the half, Harrison's pick viciously swung the momentum towards the Pittsburgh sideline.

26 - Points scored by senior co-captain Kim Moynihan scored on Friday night, including nine to open the second half, which helped give the women's basketball team a 75-63 win over Wesleyan. On Saturday Moynihan, who was recently named co-NESCAC Player of the Week, continued her hot streak with 14 points in a 85-67 victory against Conn. College, helping Tufts to a national No. 16 ranking.

4:23 - Time it took Spain's Rafael Nadal to outlast Switzerland's Roger Federer in Sunday's Australian Open final. Nadal, who won 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2, secured his sixth Grand Slam championship and his first in Melbourne while keeping Federer from winning a record-tying 14th major. Nadal has now beaten Federer in their past three meetings, all in Grand Slam finals.

51 - Saves recorded by freshman goalie Scott Barchard in the ice hockey team's 3-1 loss at the Malden Forum on Friday. A career high for the rookie, Barchard's effort sticks him at a tie for eighth in the Tufts record books for most saves in one game. With just seven contests left on the schedule, Barchard is on pace to break the single-season saves record of 698, set by Ben Crapser (E '05) in 2004. 

61 - Points scored by the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, setting the new record for the most points scored at Madison Square Garden. Bryant, who helped his Lakers to a 126-117 win over the host New York Knicks, was 19-for-31 from the floor and a perfect 20-for-20 from the charity stripe. Los Angeles now stands at a Western Conference-best 38-9, with Bryant leading the charge with 27.4 ppg. 

34 - Average speed, in miles per hour, of Jumbo sophomore skier Arlin Ladue in last weekend's competition. In his second race of the day, Ladue skied the 3,000-foot course in a time of 59.78 seconds, placing him just one second behind first-place finisher Justin Schwartz of Castleton State. Ladue's top speed down the course approached 50 miles per hour.
