Tigers double-up Cavs en route to sweep

By Mickey Cloud | April 6, 2005

It was one of those days that announces that spring is here, with sunshine and warm temperatures sticking around well into dusk. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, it also was one of those days where, despite any and all attempts, the ball seemed to bounce just out of reach, and all the breaks went in Townson's direction. Towson (17-11, 5-1 CAA) completed a doubleheader sweep over Virginia (14-21, 3-2 ACC), coming back to take a 5-4 victory in the first game and then outlasting the Cavaliers 3-2 in the night cap that lasted ten innings. "It's a day where everything we tried to do just didn't go right," Virginia coach Cheryl Sprangel said. In the first game, the Cavaliers jumped out to a 4-0 lead behind stellar pitching from sophomore Coty Tolar and solid hitting from junior Sara Larquier, senior Jenn Wynn and Tolar. With the game seemingly in hand, Sprangel opted to take Tolar out in favor of sophomore Meghan O'Leary.

Youth lacrosse spreads westward

By Walker Freer | April 5, 2005

As the famous saying reads, "Go west, young man," so has lacrosse. The sport pioneered by American Indians but perfected by elitist New England prep schools has taken Greeley's advice and, over the past few decades, has spread outward from its Eastern roots to form a network that now includes every state in the nation. Like anything else, growth must start from the bottom up, beginning with a solid base to build upon.

The Masters: A one-of-a-kind golf experience

By Bart Isley | April 5, 2005

Just so you know ahead of time, this column is about golf, and more specifically, the Masters. Proceed, if you wish, to the Jumble, where the answer is most likely not golf related. I'm convinced that there aren't a ton of people who are lukewarm on watching golf on television.
