the best: field hockey grabs No. 1 ranking
By Jim Gleitman
Forget
the loss to Maryland, the loss to Michigan State or even the tough loss

of field hockey prominence. On Oct. 6 the Deacs made a statement by shutting
out second-ranked North Carolina for the second straight time this season.

on a sports weekend
By Mike Scott
In
case you care, and I know you don’t, here follows some random news

Freshman
forward Scott Sealy’s performance in the Demon Deacons’ contest
against N.C. State on Oct. 7 not only provided the spark for the Deacs’
first Atlantic Coast Conference victory, a 3-1 defeat of the Wolfpack
on Oct. 7 at Spry Stadium, but it also earned him co-ACC Player of the
week honors. Sealy scored two goals and assisted on a third, a tally by
sophomore midfielder Jeremiah White, his sixth goal of the season.

Riding
high following an impressive second-place performance Sept. 28-30 on the
same course that will host next spring’s NCAA Championships, the

the university’s campus may be getting colder and cloudier as we
shift into autumn, the Deacs golf team continues to shine some light on
the school with its strong early-season play.

The
Deacon men’s tennis team was back in action Oct. 5-7 as the team

Stone Mountain, Ga., while four other members of the squad participated
in singles competition at the Cingular Wireless Collegiate Tennis Classic
at the Cajun Courts in Lafayette, La.
