Hello, Bearcat Fan! Many (two people) have been wondering why the Fast Break reads remarkably less insane when compared to previous semesters. Easy — I don’t take philosophy classes anymore. Now my philosophy bears one name: Sports and Rec (maybe two names). Let’s go to the news!
As the women’s swim team raced to a No. 5 finish overall, Tessa Ciatti (ʼ27) broke the school 100 butterfly record at the NWC Championships, clocking a time of 58.73 seconds.
WBB picked up two losses, including a crushing 55-83 defeat at the hands of PLU, with whom the Bearcats are tied for No. 5 in-conference. Linfield also got the better of the cardinal reds (45-54). The Bearcats’ league standings would be more promising if it weren’t for the fact that the No. 2 through No. 4 squads are at 9-5, and the No. 5 through No. 8 are at 5-9.
MBB emerged from their bottom-rung derby scrap with the Wildcats the better (80-69). They were then stymied at PLU 69-84.
Softball and baseball’s outings were cancelled due to winter weather. What a cruel irony it is that the sports that bear the most snowball fighting capacity are relegated indoors when they’re needed most.
Women’s tennis picked up a familiar win over Puget Sound (4-3) to maintain their undefeated streak.
Men’s tennis went 0-21 against the Pioneers and Loggers.
Lacrosse will play their home opener against a formidable Whitworth side on Sunday at noon.
Cole Lindberg (ʼ25) wrapped up his Willamette career taking No. 2 in backstroke at the NWC Swim Championships. The team overall took No. 8.
In the world of sport: William Byron pulled a second consecutive Daytona 500 victory out of his hat, a pro women’s lacrosse league made its debut, and an 82-0 thrashing in the European rugby Super League put Salford under the microscope.
Consider in the coming weeks: Do you like the new formatting for Fast Breaks on the website? Do you miss seeing them in print? Your feedback could save my life. History is now.
