The men’s and women’s crew teams are already hard at work for the 2014 season. The Loggers will not hit the water for the first regatta until March 29, but they have already started their early morning practices in preparation for another great season. The crew teams are some of the most successful teams on campus, but also the least visible due to the nature of the sport. Regattas are early in the morning, or full-day events, and take place off-campus. Home races take place in Lakewood and generally do...

While it has already competed in tournaments in the fall, the Logger’s men’s golf team is starting off its spring season, with more than a month until the NWC Golf Championships, and are ready to improve each player’s skills and grow as a team throughout the next couple of months. The Loggers had a successful fall season as well.

The impressive performance at conference followed the loss at home to Pacific Lutheran University on Feb. 1. Logger swimming had a strong run in November when the women’s team had a three-week long winning streak...

    The Pacific Northwest has a rich but small history in sports. After the Seattle Supersonics left for Oklahoma City in 2008, Northwest sports fans had little in the way of quality basketball to support. The largest outlet for this thirst has been the Portland Trailblazers, and it looks as if folks in the Northwest will have much to cheer for as the Blazers boast a 17-3 record on the season so far and have spent the last week, after their 130-98 win against the Utah Jazz, at number...
