For the first time in four years, two English teams have progressed to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League — and they’ve been drawn against each other. Liverpool and Manchester City, the Premier League’s two offensive titans, will face off in what promises to be the most exciting matchup of the round.
The Brandeis men’s tennis team entered Friday’s matchup as the number 20 Division III school in the nation. They had a 5-1 record and their only loss came at the hands of a Pamona-Pitzer squad that was ranked at 14. They had also defeated ranked opponent Bates College. Their season looked incredibly promising, but they were about to face their biggest task yet. Middlebury College was at the time the third ranked men’s team in the country and was showing no signs of slowing down. Had the Judges beaten the vaunted Panthers, it would have changed the course of their season and elevated the team to the company of those considered the nation’s top teams. However, that win did not come to fruition and Middlebury blanked the Judges 9-0. Even with the loss, the Judges did gain a spot in the national rankings, as they have the tiebreaker with Bates College. Brandeis fell to 5-2 on the season, while the Panthers continued their perfect season and improved to 5-0.

As Emily Bryson ’19 ran past the finish line in the final event for Brandeis at the 2018 NCAA Division III Indoor Championships on Saturday, March 10, tears began streaming down her face. Finishing first in her 3,000-meter event, Bryson claimed her second All-America honor of the meet after her first in the distance medley relay. “Yeah, I was crying,” Bryson laughed, “It’s just when I was a freshman in college, that was my goal. I wanted to be a NCAA champion and I wrote it down in my journal as something I always wanted to do. I trained up to this moment for that moment and I put a lot of work in. I just feel like as an athlete you sacrifice so much for these moments, and then to kind of watch it all unfold right before you is surreal. It was watching a lot of hard work pay off and watching a moment I had dreamed of for a really long time. It was a lot of emotions.”

With the NCAA championships approaching quickly, the Brandeis men’s and women’s track teams sent a small group of athletes to Tufts University for their last chance to prove that they belong among the nation’s Division III elite. This meant top 15 in the nation for the men, top 17 for women and top 12 in relays. This was the penultimate meet of the indoor season and as the weather continues to get warmer, the outdoor season will begin.
The name of the game for many countries trying to grow their economy is globalization. An open, competitive market that gives the opportunity for increased efficiency, exports and investment has been the goal of many of these countries. But globalization potentially has an additional benefit to these growing nations: the shrinking of the informal sector, as can be seen in the globalization of the Egyptian economy.
