The Gaels opened the weekend in Nepean against McGill, winning in convincing fashion 7-0. Janette Leroux, a 4th year centre, led the Gaels offense with a hat trick.Continue...

The gods of baseball were as fickle as the gods of weather as the men’s baseball team split a double header against the York University Lions on a chilly Saturday afternoon last weekend.

Love ’em or hate ’em, the New York Yankees’ contention for the World Series is almost as surefire as my housemate’s inability to lock down a Saturday night date.

With a $200 million payroll and eight consecutive AL East Division titles under their belt, how can one expect any less from this squad?
