Women’s tennis now stands at 1-2 after matches against Montana and Seattle University

In the women's tennis home opener last weekend, the Pilots were edged out 3-4 against Montana and defeated Seattle University 4-3. The loss to Montana had some extra sting in it as the Pilot's lost not only the match but also one of their top players, freshman Milagros Cubelli, to an ACL tear.

Greg Rybarczyk, the creator of ESPN’s Home Run Tracker, visits campus this Wednesday to discuss his technology

Albert Pujols slowly rounds the bases after blasting a home run and ESPN helpfully displays the distance the ball traveled on screen. Any baseball fan is familiar with the sight, but is likely to take such a seemingly minor detail for granted. For those wondering how such a technological feat is accomplished, the answer will be available on campus Feb.

The women’s basketball team prepares for home games against Pepperdine and Santa Clara

The new year has not treated the women's basketball season kindly with the team going 2-10 since the turn of the calender. The Pilots are headed for another losing season with a 9-17 overall record, their only wins coming against San Francisco on Jan.

I met with freshman guard Kevin Bailey to talk to the school's first ESPN top 100 recruit about why he chose the University of Portland and how he would survive on a desert island. Q: Out of all the schools that recruited you, why did you choose UP? A: I didn't want to wait behind older guys.

Fans: Where are they?

Everybody lost last Saturday. You lost. I lost. The school lost. And we lost even before the final buzzer sounded in the Pilots' 79-60 loss to BYU. That loss was disappointing, and I mean really disappointing on so many levels. First, I must concede that I was raised in Salt Lake City, grew up a Utah Ute fan, and thus simply cannot stand the Cougars.

Meet some of the people making each game possible

While you sit in the Chiles Center with your hotdog and ice- cold beverage to watch a basketball game, it is easy to overlook how much work actually goes into producing a game. It is a thankless job, often unrecognized by those who attend University of Portland basketball games.

After pausing for winter break, the Intramural Program is back and seeing an influx of participants. Coed flag football, 5-on-5 basketball and table tennis are in season, with indoor volleyball, ultimate and outdoor soccer on the horizon. Coed football, an addition to the intramural lineup two years ago, is just one of the sports that has seen its popularity increase.

Freshman basketball player Colleen “Philly” Olinger and her brother, Vice President of Student Affai

What was it like being brother and sister growing up 13 years apart? Gerry: Well, Colleen was only five when I went to school at Notre Dame, so every time I came home to visit she was always my baby sister. Getting to spend time with her now is just a constant reminder that she's her own woman now and can really take care of herself.

Tennis: Hungry for more

After starting the season with an impressive 2-0 record, the young Pilots tennis team wasn't satisfied. They wanted to take out the nationally-ranked (#56) Idaho Vandals. Before the match started last Sunday, sophomore Justin Guay noted that the Pilots wanted to send a message.

Junior Jake Midtlyng and his friend found themselves in a costume store on Halloween rushing to find a costume for the night's party. As they searched, they continued to eye a couple of Teletubby costumes they had deemed too expensive prior, but they couldn't fight off the allure.
