Semester in review
The two-year ‘Reign of Froese’ ended in May, and with the sports section under the supervision of Ben and Dan, there have been some noteworthy changes. We’ve added some shiny features (who doesn’t love the Ticker and the Water Cooler?), managed to score some sweet covers (we would’ve had more if there were a few…

Turns out, winning a league championship doesn’t get old for Dalhousie men’s lacrosse.

Read MoreTigers trample Mounties
Another day, another win for the Tigers at Wickwire Field. This one, like many of the lacrosse team’s other blowouts, didn’t even seem fair.

They don’t come much sweeter than this one.…
Read MoreMounties overwhelmed in lacrosse smothering
Authoritative 23 – 7 victory for undefeated Tigers Mount Allison’s one-goal deficit after the first quarter was a distant memory two hours later. The Mounties were only down by a tally, 5 – 4, after the opening 20 minutes, but that was about all the visiting side had to offer offensively. They added just…

Authoritative 23 – 7 victory for Tigers Mount Allison may have wished Saturday evening’s game against Dalhousie ended after the first quarter. The Mounties were only down by a tally after the opening quarter, 5 – 4, but that was about all the visiting side had to show for themselves offensively as the Tigers…
