The Patriots were coming off of a record-breaking season during which they shattered offensive records. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw for 4,806 yards, at the time a career-high, an NFL record 50 touchdown passes and just eight interceptions. […]
After losing a close game to Case Western Reserve University 61-54 on Friday night, the Brandeis women’s basketball team finally got their first University Athletic Association (UAA) victory against Carnegie Mellon University, 67-56, on Sunday afternoon.
