The Richmond Times-Dispatch has a look at the University of Virginia men's lacrosse team, a legitimate national championship contender this spring. Scan down to the penultimate paragraph of the story and find this nugget:
A newcomer of note is graduate student Chad Gaudet, who transferred to U.Va. from Dartmouth with a year of lacrosse eligibility remaining. Gaudet, a former football star at Dartmouth, has established himself as Virginia's top faceoff specialist. Unlike most players at that position, Gaudet faces off with a long stick, and he's "been a revelation so far," (coach Dom) Starsia said.For a story I freelanced on Gaudet last year, click here.
Terribly sad news out of Princeton where Lorin Mauer, the Athletics Friends Manager for the Princeton University Department of Athletics and Office of Development, died in the Continental Connection Flight 3407 crash near Buffalo Thursday. Mauer was a four-time Most Valuable Swimmer at New Jersey's Rowan University before graduating in 2001, and had a masters from the University of Florida. Find a Princeton news release here.
Dartmouth has lost its share of recruiting battles to the service academies as well as Stanford and the usual suspects this year. But Bemidji State, a Division II program in Minnesota? Whether Dartmouth backed off Collin Stoffel, he backed off Dartmouth, or Scout.com had the connection between Stoffel and Dartmouth wrong the whole time is uncertain. What is certain is that the linebacker from Arizona is headed somewhere even colder than Hanover next fall. Find a story about how it happened here. Find his bio and other information on his website.
Here's an eye opener for you. Spring practice at Texas State begins ... Monday. No kidding. Find a release here.
