GUGS admits shirt has offended some, Grills Gone Wild moves forward

From April 21 through 25, the Georgetown University Grilling Society (GUGS) plans to hold Grills Gone Wild Week, which will include a GUGS burger eating contest, ribs and pulled pork day, a grilloff competition, a sausage extravaganza on Georgetown Day and a BYOF (bring your own food). The GUGS Grillmasters will be grilling up pizzas, lamb, kebabs and all sorts of delicacies throughout the week to celebrate yet another successful semester on the Hilltop.

Men’s lax coming on strong

Having made ten straight NCAA tournaments, Georgetown’s men’s lacrosse team is accustomed to regular season success. This season has been no different; after a 1-2 start, the Hoyas won five straight, including Saturday’s 11-10 overtime win over no. 10 Navy. They’re now ranked fifth in the country heading into their game this Saturday at Fairfield.

Samantha Peters

The Georgetown women’s softball team completed an unprecedented five-game win streak last week, due largely to sophomore Samantha Peters. The starting shortstop for the Hoyas has been a force the entire year, posting nice numbers and leading the team in just about every offensive category. Through forty-two games this season, Peters has hit .391 with ten homers and thirty-three runs batted in. As if those stats were not impressive enough, she also leads the team with 15 stolen bases and has posted an on-base percentage of .443. She is currently on pace to record the greatest season in the three year history of the Georgetown University softball program.

The Sports Sermon

This year’s March Madness might be one of the worst. Here on the Hilltop, Georgetown fans were seriously disappointed when our Hoyas fell out of the brackets in the second round, a tough end to a season that began with so many hopes.
