Lone senior Kate Carlin hopes for her first winning season on the Hilltop

During Midnight Madness, Georgetown’s women’s basketball head coach, Terri Williams-Flournoy, chose one player in particular to address the mad crowd of fans packed into McDonough Gymnasium. This vocal player addressed the crowd adamantly, praising her team and imploring the fans to come out and support the women just as they do the men’s team. It’s no wonder Williams-Flournoy picked senior co-captain Kate Carlin for the job.

Lady Hoyas locked and loaded for season

The Big East coaches released their preseason poll a few weeks ago, ranking Georgetown 13th out of 16 teams. The ranking was a slight disappointment, but they are determined to prove their power and capabilities to the teams of the Big East.

Voice ladiezzz pick GU’s starting five of hotness

These five Hoya hoopsters are a triple threat. They’ve got mad ball-handling skills, they’re really tall and they’re ridiculously good-looking, even for Georgetown. The following is, in no particular order, the starting five of hotness for our 2006-07 basketball team.

Point/Counterpoint

Dante and Clay debate this season’s most likely top scorers for the Hoyas. Will it be Green and Hibbert? Or Dizdarevic and Izzo?

Voice Top 25 goes back to 1995

The last time the Georgetown Hoyas were a consensus top 10 ranked preseason team was in the fall of 1995 when they were ranked fifth and led by a skinny sophomore named Allen Iverson. Since then, a lot has changed. That skinny sophomore became one of the NBA’s greatest-ever scoring guards with a distaste for practice, and somehow Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson went from being elite actors to just plain acting insane.

So, as only The Voice can do, we’ll try and recall some of those pop-culture memories from 1995 that can make us appreciate just how long it has been since the basketball program has been this highly regarded in the preseason top 25. Here’s The Voice’s version of the poll.

Hoyas look to keep homecoming win streak alive

Homecoming is the time of year when alumni reconvene to catch up on old times and reminisce about the things that defined their time on the Hilltop. Georgetown’s football team hasn’t provided many of these joyous memories during the course of this season, but they’ll hope to change that as they face Marist this Saturday at 1 p.m. at The Yard.

Field hockey ends Big East play winless

The Georgetown University field hockey team dropped a 4-2 decision to Holy Cross (13-5) last Sunday to finish the season with a record of 5-12 overall and 0-6 in the Big East Conference. Although this record does not scream success, the team put together a solid overall performance in what was their first season in Big East Conference play.

The Sports Sermon

What is it like to have the dreams of an entire city riding on your shoulders? Every sports fan in your city depends on you to bring them the glory that they have been starved of for years. The pressure and strain must be unbelievable. Then again, if you happen to have the broad shoulders of LeBron James, this task may not be out of the question.

Welcome to Artest’s world

I have to admit, it was a real toss-up this week, deciding between a column on the exposure of a Columbian soccer team as a front for a drug cartel and Kim Jong Il’s apparent love of basketball. But then I remembered that Ron Artest’s hip-hop album was released this week. Oh, happy day.

Zeller blasts Georgetown to victory on Senior Day

The old saying goes that “a win is a win,” but for Georgetown seniors Andrew Keszler, Ricky Schramm, Benjamin Jefferson-Dow, Daniel Grasso and Tim Convey, Saturday’s overtime thriller was so much more.

Luck of the Irish holds out against Hoyas

Notre Dame denied senior midfielder Chrissy Skogen and the rest of the Georgetown women’s soccer team a storybook ending to their match against the Fighting Irish and to their 2006 season.

The Sports Sermon

Controversy filled the lungs of the World Series faster than Kenny Rogers could wash his hands. I am not a Tigers fan but have been supporting them this postseason. Rogers’ dirty hand, though, made me begin to question my support of possible cheaters. I couldn’t let my baseball morals deteriorate.

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.”

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.

Women hit winless road trip

The Georgetown women’s soccer team (4-8-4, 1-6-2 BE) found themselves all but eliminated from post-season play after another tough weekend in the unforgiving Big East Conference. The first of the two weekend match-ups came on the road and ended with a 1-1 tie with Pittsburgh (7-5-3, 1-5-2 BE) on Friday.

Still no BE victory for Hoyas

A conference win eluded the Georgetown volleyball team for a sixth time as Saturday afternoon’s game proved to be a tough one for the Lady Hoyas. The Hoyas, ranked 14th in the Big East Conference, lost 3-2 against the University of South Florida, which is ranked seventh in the conference.

Imagine beating up a fellow student in class, and the university only giving you a one-day suspension, hoping that you will be the top student when you graduate. Having trouble? Maybe you should become a football player.
