This past weekend, the men’s volleyball team hosted their third annual Vassar Volleyball Invitational. For the third consecutive year, Vassar dominated the field and swept the tournament. In the championship match, the Brewers defeated Nazareth College 3-0 (34-32, 30-28, 30-16).
The Vassar women’s polo team hoped for their particularly successful season to culminate in a trip to the Northeast Intercollegiate Regional Tournament, to be held at Cornell University on March 12-14. The team stands at 2-7 for the season, and has so far beaten such formidable opponents as Yale University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass).
This weekend the men’s and women’s basketball teams concluded their 2009-2010 seasons. The men’s team finished the season 2-23 (0-14 in Liberty League play), while the women went 9-15 (5-9 in League games). The men’s basketball team started the season off with a 78-66 win over Endicott College, thanks in large part to a career-high 37 points from guard Caleb McGraw ’12.

I just don’t care. I sat through all 14 minutes of the Tiger Woods apology not once, but twice this week. I listened as he apologized for having an affair, as he beat his chest claiming he had done wrong and as he lashed out at the media for implying that there was domestic violence in his house.
