Runners come away with impressive results

(03/07/17 12:52am)

This past weekend, the Brandeis Track and Field teams concluded their first rounds of the indoor postseason. Several individuals competed at two important qualifiers for nationals, the Eastern Conference Athletic Conference in Ithaca, New York, and the Tufts University Last Chance Meet in Medford, Massachusetts. The short distance sprinters went to New York to race, while the longer distance runners took the shorter trip to Tufts. Despite the team being separated by such a significant distance, the Judges seemed to run with the same unity and teamwork they usually have when together. At the ECAC, Jack Allan '20 earned All-ECAC honors for his stellar performance. Other runners performed well in both meets, showing off the Judges’ athletic abilities. 


Squads begin month with dominant wins

Both Brandeis University tennis teams took the court this week, coming away with major upset victories over ranked competition. Each team has had a phenomenal start to the season, with the women entering the weekend ranked 21st and the men ranked 32nd in Division III. Their significant victories this weekend add to the momentum they have generated so far this spring and recall some of the program’s best seasons in recent memory.  



Evaluate potential plans to improve Brandeis social environment

(02/14/17 5:13am)

On Jan. 25, Mark Neustadt’s report to the Brandeis community on perceptions of the University showcased that Brandeis is underperforming in the social scene — something that is not news to many. As such, I would like to offer the administration the following structural reforms in an attempt to make Brandeis a more socially active place. At Neustadt’s last presentation, the administration incorrectly blamed the lack of weekend nightlife on the large number of clubs Brandeis has, but clubs are nothing more than a scapegoat for certain structural failures.






Kevin Durant’s highly contested return to Oklahoma City lives up to the immense hype in win

(02/14/17 12:21am)

The storyline that captured the National Basketball Association’s attention the entire offseason has continued into the halfway point of the season: the surprising departure of Kevin Durant from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Golden State Warriors. The saga continued Saturday night as Durant made his much-anticipated return to Oklahoma City, as the Warriors battled the Thunder.     The much-hyped matchup did not disappoint, as Durant put up big numbers against his former teammate, and now rival, Russell Westbrook. The last nine years of the Durant-Westbrook chronicle have been entertaining and constant. As teammates for the first eight of those, the young duo took over the league together. For much of that run, the two were undisputed top-10 players in the league as they decimated opponents with their unprecedented 1-2 scoring punch.  The Thunder became a powerhouse in the NBA, going to four Western Conference Finals, as well as making one NBA finals appearance.




Judges have standout performances at meet

(02/07/17 12:25am)

At the non-scoring Tufts University Cupid Invitational, both the men’s and women’s track and field teams participated in several events, allowing each athlete to work individually on their skills without the pressure of needing to secure a win for the team. On the men's side, Brandeis performed well in the 200-meter dash and the 1000-meter run.  On the women’s side, the top events were the 200-meter dash, the 400-meter dash and the high jump. Additionally, the University Athletic Association Athlete of the Week was awarded on Jan. 31 to Brandeis runner Emily Bryson ’19 for her superb performance in the mile run. Bryson currently holds the best time in the nation for the mile run with a time of 4:52.18  in the National College Athletic Association Division III.

In what will be called the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, quarterback Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to an unforgettable victory over quarterback Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons. As Brady hoisted the Lombardi trophy in his right hand for an NFL-record fifth time, he lifted his fourth Super Bowl MVP trophy in his left. Brady’s unprecedented comeback, powered by wide receiver Julian Edelman’s miraculous catch, was capped by a sudden-death overtime touchdown by James White.
