2005-06: Hoyas back on basketball map

In the coming years, many a Hoya will look back on the 2005-2006 season as the year the Blue and Gray put themselves back on the national map. Last year’s squad built upon the respect garnered the previous year and instilled fear in their opponents just like the teams under John Thompson had done.

Pouting Irish

“One of the teams [Tennessee] that jumped us had the same game we had. They’re down, they’re playing at home and they win by a field goal. Another team [Florida] that jumped us wasn’t even playing. They were at home eating cheeseburgers, and they end up jumping us. That befuddles me.”

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.

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.

Schramm’s hat trick leads GU

Sometimes all it takes is a standout performance from your star player. Other times it’s just taking a respite from the rigors of Big East action. And sometimes it’s a little bit of both. Led by senior co-captain Ricky Schramm’s three goals, the Georgetown men’s soccer team snapped a four-game losing streak and trounced on the visiting Howard Bison 5-0 Tuesday afternoon.

Have a heart

It’s hard to feel compassion for those we hate. We cannot possibly conceive of a way to feel the faintest touch of guilt for despising a seemingly selfish and egotistical human being. But sometimes our preconceived notions of a person and our perceptions of their character are purely superficial and keep us from really understanding the person “underneath the pads.”

Men’s soccer caught in a storm

Sometimes no matter how well you play, you just can’t seem to come out on top. And so it goes for the Georgetown men’s soccer team (2-4-0, 1-1-0 BE), who dropped a 5-2 decision to visiting St. John’s (4-2-0, 1-1-0 BE) on Sunday, two days after downing rival Syracuse (3-2-0, 0-2-0 BE) 1-0 in double overtime.

Pocket ace

As Andre Agassi concluded his illustrious career with a third round loss to Benjamin Becker at this year’s edition of the American slam, a question had to be posed: What happened to his heir apparent?

Men hit losing skid

The Hoyas (1-3-0) will go into the Big East season on a three-game losing streak after dropping matches to eventual champion then-No. 8 Creighton (1-2-1) and Missouri State (2-1-1) at the Ameritas Classic in Omaha, Neb. this past weekend.
