Resilience is the story of the Brandeis men’s soccer team this year. Fighting back from a slow start, the Judges have kept their heads above water against opponents in the University Athletics Association conference. This past weekend they displayed their typical tendency for a tenacious and unrelenting defense of their just barely winning record. Their first match against Emory University was less than exciting for the Judges in a match that left much to be desired from both teams, but their second showing versus the University of Rochester was a thrilling showdown between two teams vying for a winning conference record.

Weeks seven and eight in the National Football League continued to showcase the league’s parity, reinvigorating the notion that no win is an easy one. As of week eight, the Kansas City Chiefs are the league’s only undefeated squad, boasting a 7-0 record. Additionally, every single team has won a game this season and the only teams that have not reached multiple victories are the Tennessee Titans and lowly Carolina Panthers. The road to playoff contention in the NFL is notoriously fierce and difficult, so it will be incredibly exciting to tune in for the remaining weeks of the regular season as teams jostle for playoff position.

Instead of what could have been a pair of confidence boosting wins, it was a frustrating weekend for the Brandeis women’s soccer team. The double defeat came down to just two unlucky goals making the difference, as the Emory University Eagles and the University of Rochester Yellowjackets have established themselves as ascending powers in the National Collegiate Athletics Association Division III soccer scene late in the season. The Judges’ goalie, Rachel Ross MA ’25, played another career best game statistically on Friday, but the once red-hot and rising Judges have cooled off as the postseason approaches.

It’s 8:30 a.m. and early in the school year — the first official meeting between the Brandeis University women’s basketball team and new head coach, Julie Pritchett, has just begun. The returning players on the roster had been part of the selection process after the retirement of former head coach Carol Simon earlier this year. Some had been in contact with well-wishes and congratulations after Pritchett’s hiring as the sixth women’s basketball coach in school history was finalized. But now, bright and early, it was Pritchett’s time to outline her vision for this team.

For a school of less than 4,000 undergraduate students, Brandeis holds an impressive array of diverse dance clubs. Even more impressive is students’ palpable devotion to strengthening the already commanding presence that dance has on the Brandeis campus and creating a space for this unique form of physical activity and art. In the words of Ballet Club Co-President Lilliana Aspromonte ’25, the ultimate “goal is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and is able to dance.”

“We don’t need the memories,” Mandy Reyes ’27 says. At first, this mantra might be hard for some to stomach, but to this sophomore on the Brandeis women’s tennis team, it means resisting the temptation to dwell on the past and instead finding optimism through always “reminding [herself] that it is a new day,” as Reyes explains.

On Sept. 26, 2024 it was announced that Daniel Ricciardo would leave the RB Formula One Team immediately and would be replaced by Liam Lawson for the remainder of the season. Lawson previously stood in for Ricciardo when he suffered a broken hand after crashing during a practice in 2023. Lawson made his Formula 1 debut at Zandvoort, racing for RB for a total of five grand prix before Ricciardo returned. Ricciardo’s departure comes at a shaky time as there are only two unfilled seats left for the 2025 season and five current drivers without contracts. Although Ricciardo hasn’t officially announced his retirement, his inconsistent and low scoring performance this year makes his future in F1 uncertain.

The Brandeis volleyball team faced its first test against fellow University Athletics Association teams this weekend. The round robin tournament was hosted by New York University at the John A. Paulson Center in Manhattan. The UAA conference is notoriously stacked with talent – with conference rivals Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University, Emory University, New York University and the University of Washington-St. Louis qualifying for the National Collegiate Athletics Association tournament. The NYU Violets even made an impressive run to the NCAA semifinal where they lost to Juniata College, ending their season in the top four in the country. This season, the Emory Eagles are currently ranked seventh in the nation by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Fellow UAA teams have also joined them in the AVCA Top 25: UWash is ranked eighth, NYU follows in 13th and Case Western sits at 21st.

During the 2024 Women's National Basketball Association season, Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson has put the finishing touches on what is likely her third career Most Valuable Player award with some eye-popping records: most points in a season, most points per game in a season and most rebounds in a season. She also leads the league in blocks. It’s a single-season performance unprecedented in WNBA history, but it is the crown jewel in what has been a long line of shattered records in a season highlighted by the leagues’ top-performing stars, new and old.
