Classes were back in session Mon., Sept. 8, but long before we began filling the cheap, plastic lecture hall seats, the Dinos women’s soccer team was selected and anxiously awaiting the start of the 2003/04 season.

If we were talking about the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of the fashion world, than what’s going out may be a blessing. Like those crazy fluorescent outfits, big hoop earrings and huge bangs, that I’m sure Sarah Dunlop used to wear back in the ’80s.But we’re not talking about fashion. Were talking about soccer, and the… Continue reading Reflecting on her time as a Dino

The women’s soccer team losing 2-1 to the University of… Continue reading Like a death in the family

Back with Bizzaro Sports again. As usual, this is all made-up. The people in this story are real, but their actions and words are not. And thank god for that. -Gauntlet Sports Staff Megan Kinsella can at last dry her tears.

Talent: A Hard to dispute that when you let in three goals in a 10-game season. This was one hell of a team. It really was. Three goals allowed in a 10-game regular season.
