Talent runs in the family: Kitson siblings start strong

Swimming talent runs in the Kitson family, as the siblings came out big in their meet against Linfield. “We don’t compete that much just because boys are a lot faster than girls. We have always both swum backstroke, but I lost the ability to beat him when he hit puberty,” Kenzie Kitson said. Her younger brother, sophomore Teale Kitson (Durango, Colo.), won three events while his sister senior, Kenzie Kitson (Durango, Colo.), won two. “Swimming with my brother on the team has actually felt pretty normal.

Women’s basketball travels to Seattle for exhibition game

As match-ups go, the Women’s Basketball team is never afraid to go against a worthy opponent. In their last exhibition game, the Loggers faced Seattle University, a newly minted Division I school. An exhibition game is a like a game with referees, but the outcome does not count against either team.   The Loggers knew they would have a tough matchup, but the 39-87 loss is not what they were prepared for. “The biggest thing when you are down 40-plus points is to make sure your team doesn’t give up,”...

Loggers step back onto the court

Last year in a post-season heartbreaker, the Loggers ended their basketball season in the semi-final round of the conference playoffs.

Making a comeback

After being instated in 1985, the men’s lacrosse team had to shut their program down due to financial issues in 2010. Now the team is back and stronger than ever and they are ready to do what it takes to compete in conference. “We were forced to forfeit a season because the 2010 team saw fit not to pay their dues, leaving us in debt to the league until ASUPS assisted us in later 2010,” senior Brendan Witt said. Now, with two new coaches and a whole set of new...
