Victorious men’s soccer team conspicuously absent

In print | September 25, 2008

LETTER TO THE EDITOR


I was surprised to open the Phoenix today, leaf through the pages, and find absolutely no mention of the men’s soccer team.  This week’s issue had two sports stories, one on a loss by the women’s soccer team and one on a loss by the women’s field hockey team.  Meanwhile, the men’s soccer team had their most important victory in school history, beating the #5 team in the nation on the road and rising in the national rankings to #11 in the country.  I would figure that this would at least merit some space in the school newspaper, and I hope that such a glaring omission is a once in a year phenomenon.
