Opinion: Ravens pitching could be key to HCAC championship

The Raven baseball team has secured a spot in the postseason for the second straight season after sweeping Earlham this past Saturday.

Pinyot takes advantage of life’s second chances

by

CJ Pinyot wasn’t supposed to play lacrosse this year.

Before she was born, she was almost aborted by her mother, who changed her mind at the last minute and decided to give her up for adoption.  “My parents told me a story … [Read more...]

Lacrosse teams aren’t bothered by this season’s win-loss record

by

Both the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs have had slow starts in the win-loss totals, but neither program is worried about their record this season.

Moran and Furnish highlight the Ravens’ early success

by

The Raven baseball team has put together a very promising start, building off of their success from last season. The team finished their non-conference season with an 8-6 record, good enough for fourth in the HCAC thus far.  Part of their early success is due to their excellent starting pitching, specifically from junior Joe Moran. After making nine starts a season ago and posting an impressive 3.75 ERA, Moran came into the season as the likely ace. He has solidified himself in that role … [Read more...]
