Turnovers kill Hoyas’ chances once again

Much like Bill Murray’s character in Groundhog Day, the Georgetown football team (1-6, 0-4) is having a recurring bad dream. The Hoyas were once again stricken by key turnovers and an anemic offense in their 17-7 loss to the Bucknell Bison.

WV’s Smith ‘two’ much for GU

Last Saturday, the Georgetown men’s soccer team (5-11-0, 2-8-0 BE) had more to worry about than running into the best team in the Big East, then-No. 6 West Virginia (12-1-2, 7-0-1 BE). They also collided with the man who is responsible for putting together the greatest single season offensive performance in conference history as they were brushed aside by the visiting Mountaineers, 2-0.

Street ballin’

I’m now a devoted fan of a new league. It’s a league where the players aren’t paid a cent. They have no agents, no crooked boosters and no endorsement deals. They play because they want to. They have no families to feed and no draft status to worry about. Their biggest concern is scraping a knee, or worse yet, ripping their game-day Dockers.

As you walk through the front entrance on 35th St., you might believe you’ve stepped into a run-of-the-mill high school. Paintings hang from the walls, signaling the presence of an art program in this school. It’s nice, but nothing you haven’t seen before.

Glaccum, Hoyas skin Leopards

Sometimes all the skill in the world won’t translate into a victory. You have to want to win more than your opponent, and oftentimes playing with heart can overcome any disparity in talent. Following a lackluster 4-1 loss to No. 8 Notre Dame last Saturday, the Georgetown men’s soccer team bounced back with an emphatic non-conference victory over visiting Lafayette on Tuesday, 3-0.

Then, the Hoyas celebrated their first victory under new Head Coach Kevin Kelly and were poised to make a hopefully successful three-game road trip. Now, they find themselves in the middle of a four-game losing streak after the Mountain Hawks spoiled their return home to the Yard.
