Volleyball skids in UAA tourney

The University Athletic Association is one of the great Division III forces across all sports and across the country. Members of this dominant division, of which UR is both a part of and a major power in nearly every competition, routinely invade the Top 25 Coaches Polls year after year. The women’s volleyball is no […]

Athlete of the week

In only his second season with the football team, sophomore running-back Chris Lebano is already proving himself to be a dominant force in the Yellowjacket offense.

Women step up in Gurnett’s final regular season game

The women’s soccer team trudged slowly to their locker room last Saturday night, their faces dark and barren. This wasn’t the way it was supposed to go. This wasn’t the way this season was meant to end. Down 1-0 at halftime to a Case Western Reserve University squad they knew they could handle, the Yellowjackets […]

As a neuroscience major who plans to go to medical school, Napodano is no stranger to hard work both on and off the field. After an exciting win against Worchester Polytechnic Institute, […]

Cross country fizzles in championships

The men’s cross country team’s winning streak was brought to an unfortunate end at the University Athletic Association Cross Country Championships held in Van Cortland Park in the Bronx this weekend. The Yellowjackets faced stiff competition — all but one of the teams at the race were nationally ranked. The men placed fifth out of […]

First meet shows potential

Some athletic organizations can attribute most, if not all, of their success to one or two individuals. These select superstars — and there’s no denying they’re out there — are simply so gifted that they can single-handedly carry an otherwise ordinary team to greatness. Kobe Bryant arguably does it year after year for the Los […]
