Dominant Second Half Lets Hawks Soar

It was more of the same for the women's basketball team on Saturday: A strong start deteriorated into an ugly finish, dashing any hope of an upset in Alumni Arena. The contest featured two teams in very different places within the conference.

Wrestling Wins First Conference Dual Meet

This season has simply been one of struggle for the wrestling team. Despite some strong individual efforts, the team has looked nothing but lackluster for much of the season, as it has gone its first four matches into conference play without anything to show in the win column. For one day at least, it all came together. The Bulls (6-14, 1-4 Mid-American Conference) would not be denied a conference victory, putting on one of their most impressive dual meet performances of the season.

Spring Comes Early

Seventh Heaven in Mount Pleasant

Not one player on the men's basketball team has won in Mount Pleasant, Mich., and that was enough motivation for the squad coming into Wednesday's game. It wasn't the prettiest display of basketball, and the Bulls (15-6, 8-2 Mid-American Conference) got all they can handle from a desperate Central Michigan (7-16, 2-8 MAC) team, but they were able to squeak by the Chippewas 66-62 at McGuirk Arena. This marks the seventh straight win for the Bulls, after starting the MAC portion of the schedule 1-2.

"Bulls Fall Again, Face Three-Game Losing Skid"

The struggling wrestling team went into Ypsilanti, Michigan Wednesday in search of its first victory in the Mid-American Conference, and it left still searching. The Bulls (5-14, 0-4 MAC) were introduced to a tough environment, as Eastern Michigan (14-6, 3-2 MAC) hosted its last dual meet match of the season on Senior Night.

Smith and Waste Lead Wrestling at State Championships

The 2011-12 season has been a test of patience for the wrestling team. The Bulls (5-11, 0-1 Mid American Conference) started the year with six straight dual meet losses and a tenth place finish at the Body Bar Invitational in Ithaca. However, the Bulls looked to be getting hot at just the right time after finishing fourth at the New York State Collegiate Championships last weekend. Despite sending a group of mostly young and inexperienced wrestlers to Cornell to wrestle against New York State's best, the Bulls were able to place seven wrestlers in the top six of their weight classes.
