MEN'S SOCCER: Season concludes with a heartbreaking loss

(12/05/17 11:01am)

The men’s soccer season ended in heartbreaking fashion on Friday night, as the squad fell to Messiah College in the Final Four of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament for the second consecutive year. The loss caps yet another tremendous campaign for the Judges, who will return a talented crop of players next fall. In the final press conference of his first season at the helm, head coach Gabe Margolis summed up the Judges’ emotional season perfectly: “Soccer is a funny game, and a cruel game, and it’s also a great game. Today we were on the wrong end of it, but I can’t say enough about how well our team represented Brandeis University and Brandeis Soccer.”

The final weeks of the NFL regular season promise to be exciting as teams make final playoff pushes

(12/05/17 11:00am)

With the National Football League entering the final leg of the season, playoff hopes have started to actualize — at least for some teams. The New England Patriots, as per usual, will take an easy sweep of the American Football Conference East division while the Pittsburgh Steelers seem a shoe-in for the top spot in the AFC North. That leaves two tight races in the AFC South and AFC West. In the South, the Tennessee Titans look to avenge their narrow denial of the playoffs last year, going up against the unexpectedly talented Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags, led by newly minted running back Leonard Fournette, will look to their final regular-season game when they face off against the Titans in what may be a win-or-go-home situation. The two teams’ upcoming schedules are nearly identical, making the final game all the more likely to be the deciding factor. The Jaguars nearly led the league in losses last year with a 3-13 record, making their flight to the top all the more dumbfounding.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Team opens the year with a pair of losses

(11/21/17 11:04am)

The men’s basketball team tipped off its 2017 to 2018 campaign this past week, opening the season with two consecutive losses. The squad dropped a close contest in its season opener at Suffolk University on Wednesday, its comeback bid falling short despite a stellar performance from star guard Eric D’Aguanno ’20. The team followed that loss with another close defeat, blowing a six-point halftime lead en route to a loss at the hands of Becker College on Saturday. The new-look Judges should expect early trials this season, as the squad strives to build chemistry on a team that features nine underclassmen.

CROSS COUNTRY: Athletes show off their talent at NCAAs

(11/21/17 11:02am)

This past weekend was the conclusion of a fantastic cross country season. The men’s and women’s teams each sent their captain to compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III National Cross Country Championships. While the teams were not among the 32 teams that qualified to run in the national championships, captains Ryan Stender ’18 and Emily Bryson ’19 were among the 56 individual runners who qualified based on their times at regionals. Both runners returned as All-Americans. Before yesterday, the men’s and women’s teams hadn’t both had an All-American in the same season since 1995.

The resilient Celtics extended their winning streak to 12 games, even without Gordon Hayward

(11/14/17 11:00am)

With seven seconds on the clock and a one-point lead, Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown stared down Toronto Raptors forward DeMar DeRozan. The back-and-forth battle between two of the Eastern Conference’s best would come down to the final shot. The Raptors’ three-time All-Star dribbled to his left, faked a spin-move on the Celtics’ 21-year-old forward, and fired a fade-away jumper — short. The ball bounced off the rim and into the hands of forward Serge Ibaka, who was quickly swarmed by Boston’s forward Jayson Tatum and guard Marcus Smart. Tatum reached for the ball, tipping it out of Ibaka’s hands, and as time expired Smart grabbed control — sealing the Celtics’ 12th straight win, 95-94, over the Toronto Raptors.
