Women shutout for fourth straight game

Soccer, like many other sports, can be a game of streaks. You win some, you lose some and sometimes these wins and losses come in bunches. The Lady Hoyas soccer team is currently riding a losing streak of four games after a 1-0 loss at Seton Hall this past Sunday.

The Sports Sermon

This week’s Monday Night Football game featured the Atlanta Falcons playing at the New Orleans Saints. For the first time since the 2004/05 NFL season, “playing at the New Orleans Saints” really meant playing at the New Orleans Saints.

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.”

GU heartbreaker

Sometimes in sports, things don’t go the way they should. The Georgetown women’s soccer team (3-3-3, 0-1 BE) lost their final non-conference game of the season last Sunday against the James Madison Dukes (4-4-0) in a 1-0 game they should have won.

Hoyas get first BE win, then fall to Rutgers

O-H! I-O! As I headed back to Georgetown from the Rosslyn Metro on my roommate’s bike late Saturday night, this was a chant I was surprised to hear.

Handcuffed

Nothing holds a candle to the spectacular criminal feats of the NFL. Football players have been remarkably proficient in showing that they are, as many believe, above the law.

Hoyas get first win of season

If you don’t score, you can’t win. Last Saturday afternoon in the heart of the Hilltop, Georgetown’s young defense took this simple rule to heart.

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.
