A blast of wind pummeled the highest branches and the falling leaves, drops of sunlight against the gray sky, surrounding me in a swirling kaleidoscope. In that moment, like this one, I understood that beauty has a mother and her name is decay. Keep bearin’ down on ‘em, ‘Cats!
Defending champs Men’s Soccer have fallen squarely from last season’s heights, losing twice this weekend to UPS (1-3) and George Fox (1-2).
Women’s Soccer outscored the Loggers (3-2), then fell to Fox (1-3).
