In a fast paced physical match-up filled with high intensity, the Brandeis Judges saw their season come to a close as they lost to the Rhode Island College Anchormen, 70-67 Saturday night in the second round of the Division III NCAA tournament in Providence, RI.
In the sports world, there are many unwritten rules. For instance, there is no crying in baseball, losers walk in pick up football games but Saturday, the Brandeis Judges introduced what should be included if not already an unwritten rule if you commit 35 turnovers in a game and especially in a playoff game, youre not going to win. It was a bitter pill for the Judges to swallow as they could only walk away on the wrong side of a 71-66 defeat.
Several rooms in Ziv Quad were flooded February 16, according to residents. The flooding occurred after a student broke the head of the fire sprinkler in her room when removing a bag from her closet.
The Student Union announced February 15 that a decision had been made to create a Club Sports Program under the auspices of the Athletics Department. This arrangement, if passed by the Board of Trustees in March, will end nearly two years of negotiations.
The opening game in this year's NCAA Division III tournament seemed to work out perfectly for the lady Judges. Guard Jaime Capra '08 scorched the defense of their first round opponent, the Maine-Farmington Beavers, who came into the game ranked 21st in Division III. Capra posted a career high 33 points in 32 minutes, while shooting a perfect 4-4 from beyond the arc, helping the Judges cruise to a 90-66 victory.
The Brandeis Judges stepped onto the court, proverbial newborns in NCAA play. Nary a senior among them, they faced a tough foe in the Trinity College Bantams. Under the charged atmosphere, neither team disappointed but in the end, it was the Brandeis Judges that walked away the victor, needing an extra frame to claim the 77-70 victory.
Many students will be able to reel off all of the bands that have performed at Brandeis in recent years, including O.A.R., Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Matt Pond PA and Flogging Molly. To some, this list is quite impressive, while it might be lackluster to others. Perhaps what is less commonly talked about is the impressive list of groups that have come to Brandeis in the past several decades and the circumstances that surrounded their respective shows. Here is a brief overview of some of the talent Brandeis has brought to campus throughout the years that you may not have known about.
A phone rings and a blonde girl picks it up. Hello? she asks the caller. Twelve chaotic minutes later, she is bloody and hanging from a tree. This shocking scene opens the somewhat scary, wildly madcap, and much loved Scream trilogy, which in 1996, was director Wes Cravens gift to horror movie junkies and college students on sugar highs alike.
The Free Play Theatre Cooperative (FPTC) announced that it had been chartered by the Student Union on Feb. 11. The 19-1 decision came after a sharply-divided Union vote last semester, in which Free Play was narrowly denied charter due to claims of duality of purpose with the Brandeis Ensemble Theatre (BET).
