(03/13/18 10:01am)

Members of the Brandeis University Men’s and Women’s fencing teams competed with the top talent from the region at the NCAA regional championships. Being the host school for the event, there was increased pressure to perform well in front of the Brandeis faithful. Good performances in the meet should qualify fencers to advance to the NCAA national collegiate fencing championships later this month. If a Judge advances, he or she will be the school’s first national competitor since 2014. Here’s how the fencers fared.


With a plethora of top teams and talent, March should once again prove it is the month of madness

(03/13/18 10:00am)

There are a few months out of every year which are dedicated to one thing and one thing only. October is almost completely associated with Halloween. One can’t think about the month of December without thinking about Christmas. What does one think of when they consider the month of March? Madness. The college basketball season has been raging since November and now that all the regular season games have been played and all the conference tournaments have concluded, it’s time for the playoffs. Last Sunday, a day dubbed selection Sunday, the NCAA released the annual 68 team bracket featuring teams from across the country. 



It is time for the NCAA to pay its athletes

(03/06/18 11:02am)

Due to an ongoing investigation into the 2016 election cycle, an internal probe of all affairs, and the daily barage of tweets and public statements from the president, the FBI has been getting a lot of press recently. With so much on its plate, it may not make sense as to why the FBI is investigating the National Collegiate Athletic Association, but the investagation could finally reveal a decades-old problem with collegiate sports. In order to understand why the FBI is investigating sports, it is important to first understand the perspectives of both the NCAA and its athletes.

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. 


With the recent signing of JD Martinez, where do the Red Sox stand in the AL East pecking order?

(03/06/18 11:00am)

After months of speculation, the Boston Red Sox finalized the signing of slugging outfielder JD Martinez to a front loaded five year deal worth around $110 million. Even before free agency started, the consensus in the industry was that the Red Sox needed to put forth their best possible effort when it came to courting Martinez. Much of that speculation stemmed from two numbers: 241 and 168. Those represent that amount of homeruns hit by the rival New York Yankees and the Red Sox, respectively. The Yankees paced the league in home runs last season, yet went out and added Giancarlo Stanton, the reigning MVP and MLB home run champ. Meanwhile on the other side of the rivalry, the Red Sox finished 27th in the league in home runs and while their counterparts in the Bronx added even more firepower, the Red Sox were stagnant until last week. The signing of Martinez adds a much needed influx of power to the Sox lineup, as Martinez led the league in slugging percentage over the second half of the season, finishing with 45 home runs.
