Nov 25th 2012, 02:29

She was powerful, and she possessed a rare beauty. She lived for years in the heart of Washington, and those who were closest to her regarded her as a queen. Now Soyono, the Sumatran tiger, is dead.

Allen had been fouled on the decisive sequence and added the free throw, lifting George Mason to a 48-45 victory over winless Boston University in front of 4,375 at Patriot Center.
