Hoyas beat Irish, lose to ‘Cats

After defeating No. 9 Notre Dame for the first time in history on Saturday, the Georgetown women’s soccer team lost to Big East rival Villanova 2-1 yesterday, ending the Hoyas’ seven-game win streak. Georgetown’s record now stands at 8-4 overall and 3-1 in the Big East.

Quinn keeps on scoring

First-year field hockey forward Jessica Quinn looks like a woman on a mission when she takes to the field. She stares down the opposition and seems to run right through other players to reach the ball. So it comes as no surprise that she leads the Georgetown field hockey team in points and goals for the season.

Giants and Cardinals will meet in the NLCS

OK baseball fans, here I am for the second week in a row, giving you the sweet and low down on the MLB playoffs. So far all of my predictions from last week have come true, so if that’s any indicator then you better listen closely to this weeks predictions as I take a look at the National League.

The Sports Sermon

Fie! We cannot contain our odium for the team that hails from the hamlet previously named New Amsterdam. We decry all those sportsmen donning pinstriped suits and jaunty blue caps whose arrival means the raiding of our small burh. Harvest after harvest, the blasphemous prudhommes George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and Joe Torre impose unfair tallage all o’er the land, pillaging our finest base-ball men for their squadron and leaving us with only a few beggared peasants with which to fill our rosters.

Fakin’ it

It’s 11 p.m. on a beautiful October night of last year. The Yankees have just made another ridiculous comeback off Byung-Hyun Kim and the Diamondbacks in the World Series. As I’m about to head out to drink away my sorrows, I find myself checking away messages on AOL Instant Messenger.

There are disabled Hoyas, too

Most Georgetown students are not at the mercy of broken elevators, sullied ramps, unmarked paths or complex directions when going to classes, dorms or the cafeteria. Physically disabled students shouldn’t be either, but the University’s record of providing adequate accessibility for mobility impaired students is mixed, if not dismal.

MPD: Only half right

This past weekend, an estimated 2,000 demonstrators descended on Washington, D.C. to protest the scheduled meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. In the weeks leading up to the protests, Washingtonians voiced their concerns about the safety and security of their city, citing rioting at previous gatherings in Seattle, Milan and here in the District.

A stink in New Jersey

On Monday, Senator Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.) announced that he would no longer seek re-election to his senate seat. He was formally denigrated by a bipartisan Senate ethics committee this summer for accepting illegal gifts and contributions in his 1996 election campaign.

A man for all seasons

I am a great man. I’m also really good looking. Fabulous, even. I have a variety of sports jerseys and a diverse music collection. I probably know more about basketball than you, and your favorite band definitely sucks as long as Rolling Stone says so. My eyebrows are quite defined, and I’ve been complimented on them a lot.

Letter to the Editor

I disagree with Gilbert Cruz’s article questioning the reputation of Seven Samurai (“Kurosawa classic hits AFI,” Sept. 12). Kurosawa’s masterpiece deserves every bit of praise it has received over the years and belongs at the top of the film canon for any student of the medium.
