Stories from the October 10, 2005, Print Edition
The GW volleyball team seems to thrive under pressure but still has trouble finishing when it counts. The Colonials made strong comeback attempts this past weekend in their efforts against Atlantic 10 rival Duquesne and newcomer Saint Louis but lost both matches 3-1.
The women's soccer team saw their winning ways in the Atlantic 10 abruptly end this weekend, with losses against Dayton and Xavier dropping the Colonials to 1-2-0 in the conference. Two Xavier goals early in the first half resigned GW to their second straight shutout loss at home Sunday.
Good time's never been so good? Not this year, Caroline. With the Boston Red Sox out of the picture, the baseball playoffs suddenly became just as riveting as the Washington Capitals-New York Rangers game Monday night. The century-old rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees is good for baseball no matter what people west of the Mississippi River tell you.
On the coldest day of the school year to date, the GW softball team kept warm by running the bases and making plays in the field. The Colonials followed up an 8-0 win over overmatched Georgetown with a 5-1 victory over Howard on Sunday in the GW Fall Opener at Mount Vernon.
Men's soccer The GW men's soccer team dropped two straight games in Ohio to extend their losing streak to four games. GW lost to Xavier 2-1 on Oct. 9. With the loss, the Colonials fall to 3-5-2 overall and 0-2 in the Atlantic 10. Sophomore Abimbola Pedro scored his first goal of the year in the first half to give GW its only offense.
