Baseball’s four-game split is right on track

Swimming downs American

The Georgetown men’s and women’s swim teams made a splash in their return to competition, with both beating American University in their first meet of the semester. However, the women’s squad also lost to James Madison University. The Hoyas posted strong times, and two more women qualified for the Big East Championship in February.

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.

What Rocks: Sean Lamont

The Georgetown Baseball team is enjoying one of their most successful seasons in recent memory. One of the main reasons for this success is junior third basemen Sean Lamont, whose career on the Hilltop can be summed up by one word: power. Lamont led the team in home runs, RBIs, runs, and slugging percentage during his first two years.

Hoyas ready for Big East Championships

Coming off a sweep against Howard last week in their final home meet of the season, the men and women’s swimming and diving teams looked to finish the regular season with a trip to College Park to face the University of Maryland. Both teams were defeated by the Terps, but the main goal of the meet—to have as many swimmers and divers as possible qualify for the upcoming Big East Championships—was accomplished, with six Hoyas garnering berths.
