Gymnastics Squad Wins Team Title

By |

The gymnastics team concluded its season in the best way possible with a win at the USAG Collegiate National Championships in New Haven, Conn. The Red posted a score of 191.675, dead even with Bridgeport to share the title. Throughout the meet the Red knew that it had a shot, but was not sure of the final results until the announcement was made.
“It was crazy,” said rising junior Maddie Pearsall. “Basically throughout the meet we were keeping track of [Texas Women’s] because they won last year so we figured that they were our main concern. We knew that their last event didn’t go very well, and then when they made the announcements they came in fourth. When they finally announced that we had tied Bridgeport for the win, everybody went nuts.”

On Behalf of Red Sox Nation

By |

Yes, the Sox got off to a slow start (3-6 earlier this season). But if this were the NFL, they would be halfway through the fourth quarter of their first game. There are plenty of games still to be played, so there’s no reason to worry yet. Not to mention the fact that four of the games they lost were decided by just one run. They’ve played some tough teams too — the Rays and Angels both made the playoffs last year and with the addition of Matt Holiday, Jason Giambi, Orlando Cabrera (forever a hero in Red Sox Nation), and of course Nomar “I definitely took steroids” Garciaparra, the A’s are primed to make a run for a playoff spot this year.

Red Softball Swept by Syracuse

By |

The softball team traveled up north to Syracuse yesterday afternoon to take on the Orange in an out-of-conference doubleheader. The Red (31-9, 10-2 Ivy) came in hot, winners of their last five games. Syracuse (23-13, 8-4 Big East) entered the day winners of their last three, and would ultimately continue their winning ways by shutting down the Red offense on their way to a sweep.
The Red was unable to get anything going offensively all afternoon. The Red totaled nine hits over the two games, but Syracuse pitcher’s quieted the Red’s bats so they were unable to string enough hits together to put runs on the scoreboard.
