WBB | A resilient leader: C. Vivian Stringer willed Rutgers through controversy. Now recruits are rewarding that camaraderie
By Brian Tahmosh
Brooklyn Pope hadn't heard much about Rutgers until last April. She was a junior playing basketball for Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Fort Worth, Texas, and Piscataway, N.J., couldn't have been any further from her mind. She would almost certainly suit up for Baylor when her college career began, not far from her home.
Berman: Club women's ice hockey players savor chance to try out for D-I team
By Zach Berman
When Alison Lee heard Syracuse was adding a women's ice hockey team, it was enough to keep her at SU. Lee, a sophomore goalie on the club hockey team, briefly considered transferring. It wasn't entirely a hockey decision that made her contemplate leaving, nor was it entirely a hockey decision that kept her on campus.
MBB | Local aid: Pittsburgh native DeJuan Blair has helped the Panthers overcame a series of injures
By Drew Stal
Pittsburgh forward DeJuan Blair went nearly point for point against Louisville center David Padgett in a two-point loss to then-No. 23 Louisville last Sunday. Blair, a freshman, showcased his physical toughness inside the paint against the senior 6-foot-11 center, scoring 20 points and grabbing 11 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season.
Track | Art painting major McCarter keeps running creative, exciting
By Alexandra Rowley
Few on the Syracuse track and field team know of Liz McCarter's other passion. And that's the way she likes it. "I like to keep running separate from art," McCarter said. Evidently, because when asked to describe McCarter, a freshman art painting major, the word artistic was not mentioned.
National | WKU's Lee playing for late teammate
By Matt Ehalt
The news came around 5 a.m. A friend had called Western Kentucky guard-forward Courtney Lee earlier in the day and told him he heard something, but wasn't sure what it was. But later that night, WKU head coach Darrin Horn called with the tragic news. Lee was heartbroken.
Dome Makeover
Always wondered how the Carrier Dome goes from Jim Boeheim Court to the FieldTurf for football and lacrosse? Two weekends ago, after the Syracuse men's basketball team defeated then-No. 9 Georgetown, The Daily Orange chronicled the change over. After the last court rusher had finally departed, staff photographer Rachel Fus set up her camera and spent the next 12 hours in section 307, racking up more than 300 still images of the court being taken away and the turf prepared for lacrosse the next day.
