Men’s soccer opened their regular season tab with two scrum goals from Matt Chase (‘27) and a victory over Lewis & Clark. Again burdened by back-line injury, the women failed to find a solution to the Pioneers’ Celeste Schreifels (‘25), conceding a hat trick and losing (0-3). Both squads wrenched out a pair of draws up north in Tacoma, positive results given the competition.
Olivia Cadien (‘25) led in kills as Pioneer volleyball fell by the wayside (3-1), but the Bearcats’ trip to Tacoma ended in disappointment as the Loggers and Lutes made off with 3-1 and 3-0 wins respectively.
Tennis ducked its head out for a brief fall appearance.
The golf teams are firing away in Tualatin, and results will be finalized tonight. As of mid-day Monday, the men sit at eighth, while the women are still only participating with a skeleton crew.
Triathlon got the axe; the Cal Poly Humboldt Lumberjacks earned a decisive victory (93-66). Why have you forsaken us, Riga Grubis?
In the world of sport: Manchester City and Arsenal may have cemented a bitter top-flight rivalry of early ‘90s proportions. Now if only we could bring back the wanton disregard for player safety. In other news, Gonzaga has been linked to a PAC-12 rebuild.
Consider in the coming weeks: Get your own thoughts to consider. So needy. Sheesh.
