On Monday night the men’s basketball team broke their five game losing streak by defeating the Shippensburg Red Raiders’ 79-71 at home in Pucillo Gymnasium.
The game was dominated by three-point shooting from both teams. In the first half Shippensburg got out to an early lead, but Millersville was able to hold off the Raiders offense.
Only two days after a victory over PSAC rival Kutztown University, the Millersville women’s basketball faced off against Shippensburg Monday night in Pucillo gymnasium.
The Lady Marauders took possession of the game from the beginning. Raquel Green got things started by quickly putting up four points within the game’s opening three minutes. A foul by Isabel Scott of the Shippensburg Raiders on Ashley Moyer only added to the Marauder’s score. Moyer’s two points were a warning to the Raider defense. She went on to score 13 points in the first half alone.

On January 31 the Pro Bowl kicked off in Miami. I am not going to beat around the bush; it is time that the NFL scraps this feeble attempt at entertainment. Anybody who watched even a few plays of the alleged all-star game can agree that any player who was giving a 40 percent effort was working twice as hard as their opponent.

On Saturday the baseball community celebrated the birthday of the game’s greatest player, Babe Ruth. Ruth would have been 115 years old. He was born in 1895 in Baltimore and spent most of his youth in St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys.
It was at St. Mary’s where Ruth learned the game of baseball. He eventually caught the eye of pro scouts, and landed a contract with the minor league Baltimore Orioles. Ruth was then traded to the Boston Red Sox where he was a starting pitcher from 1914 to 1919.

The first Olympic Games can be traced back as far as 776 B.C. They were dedicated to the Olympian gods but banned in 393 A.D. when Emperor Theodosius prohibited all pagan cults.
The 2010 Winter Olympic Games began with tragedy. Nodar Kumaritashvili, a luger from Georgia, died in an accident while practicing.
