Kailee Zornow – Women’s Soccer
1. How did you first get involved with soccer? When I was younger, I wanted to be just like my older brother. He played soccer and baseball, so I played soccer and baseball. I just so happened to fall in love with soccer, so when we were older and really had to commit to a […]

Week 10 NFL game predictions
Let’s be honest here. The fact that I called the Rams over the Niners, predicting the score within four total points of the actual score is pretty remarkable.

The Rebound
“Wow” is all I can say about the beyond-impressive start to the Warriors’ season. Not only are they off to a 4-0 start, but they are looking fairly unstoppable.

NFL Predictions at the halfway mark
NFC East The pick: Dallas Cowboys Current record: 6-2, first place in the NFC East The case: As an Eagles fan I’m legally obligated to state my disgust for this pick, but unfortunately, it may very well be the right one. A comparatively easy second-half schedule is practically begging the Cowboys to win 11 games, […]

Mark Lawlor – Men’s Soccer
1. How did you first get involved in soccer? Ever since I was four years old, I have been playing soccer whether it be for my town or a travel team. My dad played on the Men’s Soccer team here at UR from ‘84 to ‘88 and he got me started very early. It has […]
