Men's soccer has won its last two Ivy matchups 1-0. Forward Austin Mandel '12 has scored the lone goal in each game.

In case you haven’t seen the big “Ever True” banner in the Ratty, or the life-size pictures of the soccer players posted on the door’s of that same dining hall, or you haven’t been following the Herald’s coverage, or you just generally live under a rock, we’d like you to know that the men’s soccer team is battling Dartmouth for the Ivy League title this weekend in its final home game of the season. It’s pretty rare that such a straightforward clash for the title takes place, so you should come out and cheer for your fellow classmates. If soccer just isn’t your sport, here are the other matches taking place on Brown soil this weekend:

Friday, Nov. 11

The men’s basketball season starts at 5pm against Johnson and Wales. We hope the Wildcats enjoy the wild five minute drive up the massive hill.

Women’s ice hockey faces off against RPI at 7pm. With a 1-2-2 record, the squad seems to have already improved over last season. We’re not going to say that’s not sad.  [Read more →]

Captain Jack Maclellan '12 and the rest of the men's ice hockey team have two home games this weekend.

The men’s ice hockey team faces off against two ECAC opponents this weekend at Meehan Auditorium. Unlike the men’s and women’s soccer teams and the football team that had to play in the snow last weekend, the ice hockey teams actually enjoy winter’s return. Whether you like winter or not, you should come cheer on your fellow classmates in these home matchups:

Friday, November 4

Volleyball will take on the snobby Princeton Tigers at 7pm.

In an adjacent building, the men’s ice hockey team will be facing off against Colgate at 7pm.

Saturday, November 5

Volleyball is back in action, this time hoping to beat those pacifist Penn Quakers at 5pm.

Men’s ice hockey will battle Ivy-foe Cornell (who also has a bear as a mascot, those posers!) at 7pm.

All your other fuzzy-wuzzy Bears will be roaming around (and, you know… competing) in athletic arenas in other far away lands. Think of them while you’re cheering for the hockey team.

Co-captain quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero '11.5 and the rest of the football squad will look to end Penn's 18-game Ivy win streak Saturday.

Some of you may have noticed there was no cheering going on last week on this blog. Some of you may even have missed this informative post. We’re sorry. We sincerely hope it won’t happen again.

Saturday is officially Take On Penn Day at Brown. For those of you who think sports are violent and send the wrong message, please tell this to Penn. They’re Quakers. Isn’t it a bit hypocritical of them to be undefeated so long in a sport where the objective is for hulky men to tackle each other repeatedly? Why don’t they just forfeit? Oh, yeah — because that wouldn’t be any fun! Here’s what you have to cheer for tomorrow:  [Read more →]
