Lightweight crew prepares for Eastern Sprints

Georgetown’s lightweight crew team has spent its entire season preparing for one thing: Eastern Sprints. Even though the crew team is winless so far this season, they are by no means out of the competition. One sign of hope for the team is last weekend’s meet against Princeton and Penn where the Hoyas lost to top ranked Princeton by only 2.4 seconds in the varsity race.

The Sports Sermon

Four years ago when David Ortiz was 30 years old, he had one of his greatest seasons ever. His 54 home runs during the 2006 campaign were the most in a single season for the Red Sox. From 2003-2007, there was no hitter more dominant than “Big Papi.” As a die-hard Yankees fan, every time he would step to the plate in a big situation my stomach would drop. When he decided to swing, I’d cringe and hope that he wouldn’t make solid contact and send the ball into the stratosphere.

Women win in OT thriller

Before the opening draw against Loyola on Wednesday night, the seniors on the Georgetown women’s lacrosse team were honored in a ceremony for their final home game. Later, with 17 minutes left to play in the game, it looked like that would be the last happy memory the seniors would have on the Multi-Sport Field. With almost three-fourths of the game having gone by, the Hoyas stared down a seven goal deficit, as Loyola’s Grace Gavin scored the Greyhounds’ fifth unanswered goal to take an 11-4 lead.

Natty Enlightenment

Shortly after waking up last Sunday, I got a call from a friend. The Nats were playing the Dodgers at 1:35 p.m. Did I still want to go? n a typical Sunday afternoon I’m usually debating whether or not I can put off Leo’s brunch and the start of my day for another half hour—forget about getting half way across the city.
