On Feb. 7 — while most students were trudging to class through the yard-high snow — Katarina Angus ’17.5 was suiting up for the most important game of her field hockey career. So far, that is. A 4-0 loss to New Zealand — a game in which Angus played for 30 minutes — was not a great debut for ...

The men’s soccer team’s unbeaten streak ended last weekend during its southern road trip, which pitted it against Georgia State and No. 14 Clemson.
