One week into my summer internship in New York, I decided to take the morning off to attend the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) victory parade. I woke up at 6:30 a.m., put on my official USWNT jersey, and waited for my coworker to make her way from Bay Ridge to Battery Park. Our plan […]
Volleyball was frankly dominant in its return from hiatus, demolishing Rhode Island College (RIC), Wellesley College, and Bowdoin College on the team’s recent opening weekend. The 16th-ranked Cardinals cruised through one match on Friday and two on Saturday without dropping a single set, launching them into the season with a perfect 3–0 record. The season […]
As a new season approaches, this year’s men’s cross country team is looking to make great strides. The 2018 team was up and down, with each step forward followed by a step back. After a season best 2:14:15 total time at the Inter-Regional Border Battle, the Cardinals finished 10th out of 11 teams at the […]

Last January, I predicted […]
When assessing men’s soccer’s potential in the difficult field this upcoming season, the Cardinals’ 2018 winning stats alone do not give the full picture. The team is coming off a 4-11 overall record and a 2-8 record in conference play. Yet over 15 games, the Cards conceded only 18 goals, leading to a strong goals-against-average (GAA) of […]
With fall comes the return of one of the most popular sports leagues on the planet: the English Premier League.

The women’s golf team is swinging into the new year with an excited outlook: This is the first year in Wesleyan history that the team will compete as an individual women’s golf team—not as a co-ed part of the golf program.
