Backdoor Cuts: Just win, baby

Last Thursday, at the end of the second practice of a two-a-day, Georgetown football Head Coach Kevin Kelly was not happy. From the periphery of Multi-Sport Field, bystanders could hear Kelly tell his players in no uncertain terms (and with a few obscenities) that what he just saw in practice was unacceptable.

Hoyas attend summer school at McDonough

Officially, college basketball begins with Midnight Madness in the fall and ends after March Madness. But in reality, the sport runs year-round. There’s recruiting, transfers, scheduling, and, best of all, summer league. And for over 20 years the storied Nike Pro City Jabbo Kenner League has been the summer home to Georgetown players.

The Sports Sermon: Time to make the switch

At Georgetown, there is only one thing you need to purchase when it comes to sports: Men’s Basketball season tickets. Instead of getting a care package from your Aunt, just ask her to write you a check for one of the best investments you can make.

Soccer looks to rebound

Despite having a wealth of talent, the Georgetown men’s soccer team’s 2009 season ended in heartbreak. The Hoyas played solid soccer but lost numerous close games, the tough times culminating in a crushing loss to DePaul in the Big East Tournament during double overtime on penalty kicks.

Hoyas on offensive

If your team failed to win a single game in 2009, most players would have little motivation to compete. But not the Hoya football team. Of course, it is never fun to go 0-11, but the chance to improve in the upcoming season has kept the Georgetown football team focused during the off-months.

Back Door Cuts: Stars align to light up D.C.

Freshmen, consider yourself lucky that you weren’t around last year. In recent memory, following D.C. sports has been nothing short of self-flagellation. Despite being one of the only cities in the country to have a professional team in all four major sports, the District was a laughingstock on the national sports scene.

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.

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.

Hoyas fall in final minutes

With a two-goal lead and things going his team’s way, Georgetown men’s lacrosse head coach Dave Urick had to feel confident with five minutes left in last Saturday’s game at UMass. Unfortunately, the game took a turn for the worst, and the Hoyas gave up three unanswered goals to lose the game 13-12.

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.

After early struggles, Hoyas dominate Big East

Last Saturday afternoon, the Georgetown women’s lacrosse team found themselves in an all-too-familiar position—behind. The team, something of a national powerhouse in recent years, started the game down 4-0 to Rutgers. The Hoyas (8-5, 6-0 Big East) rebounded in a big way, though, coming back to trounce the Scarlet Knights 19-12, continuing a five-game winning streak and preserveing an unblemished conference record.

Two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games yesterday. This suspension is just one in a long line of swift punishments handed down by the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. In suspending the Steelers’ star and one of the most recognizable professional football players in the league, Goodell reaffirmed his rule over the league. It’s a simple formula: Either you abide by Goodell’s standards, or you do not play in NFL games.

Men’s season down to the wire

Backdoor Cuts: DC’s last hope

In a city best known for its politics, professional sports often take a backseat in Washington D.C. As one of only 13 cities in the country to have teams competing in the four major sports, the District has dropped the ball over the last year, often literally.

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.

Potent O and tenacious D aid Hoya win streak

Before the season started, the Georgetown men’s lacrosse team had a clear goal in mind: Return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. With only four games left in the regular season, they know now is the time when they can fulfill those expectations.

Last Sunday, on a warm spring day in Augusta, Georgia, Phil Mickelson stood on the 18th green after The Masters to accept his third green jacket. Mickelson was the most consistently great player throughout the week, proving he was worthy of his fourth major title.

Hoyas score another comeback win

Following an unsuccessful weekend at the University of South Florida that saw a Bull’s sweep of the Hoyas, the Georgetown University men’s baseball team bounced back this week with two hard-fought victories against Mount St. Mary’s and George Washington.

What Rocks: Brian Dorfman

As Tiger and Phil were competing at the Masters last weekend, sophomore Brian Dorfman was leading the Hoyas in the Princeton Invitational with a 4-under par score of 67, the best single round score of the tournament. The Hoyas went on to finish in seventh place out of 15 teams.
