It was a packed house Sunday at the Pizzitola Sports Center, where over 700 spectators spent their Valentine’s Day at the second annual Beauty and the Beast competition. But the boisterous crowd was not enough to inspire the Bears to a victory over Ivy League rival Harvard. The day’s second contest ...
For a men’s hockey team that has won two conference games this season, picking up a point in a 3-3 tie against No. 15 Cornell is an occasion to be celebrated. As it stands, a point for Brown (4-16-5, 2-12-4 ECAC) could be the difference between playing at Dartmouth or Rensselaer in the first round ...
The women’s hockey team fell in its final home games of the season this weekend, bringing the Bears’ (3-21-3, 1-16-3 ECAC) winless streak to 16 games.

Momentum is a fickle friend. When the men’s basketball team made the trek up to Harvard and Dartmouth with a chance to even its Ivy record, momentum decided not to make the trip.

Coming off its first Ivy League win of the season against Columbia, the women’s basketball team entered the weekend with a chance to start its season fresh and improve its dismal 1-5 Ivy League record.

On the heels of a three-match winning streak, the men’s tennis team lost all three of its matches at the ECAC Division I Indoor Championships this weekend. As the sixth-seeded team out of eight, the Bears (4-3) fell 4-0 to all three of their opponents — No. 34 Dartmouth, St. John’s and eventual ...
The boat surged through the water, buffeted by high winds and falling snow. It was late fall, and the temperature was hovering in the mid-30s. In other words, it was hardly sailing weather. “It was snowing, it was so windy, you couldn’t feel any limbs,” said Megan Grapengeter-Rudnick ’17, newly ...
Each season, the Ivy League team with the best conference record is granted automatic entry to the NCAA basketball tournament because the Ancient Eight does not have a separate qualifying tournament.

If any player on the women’s hockey team (3-19-3, 1-14-3 ECAC) deserved to score a clutch third-period goal against Harvard, it was Erin Conway ’17.

It is amazing what a weekend can do. For the men’s basketball team, a split in two home contests against Cornell and Columbia showed the Ivy League what Head Coach Mike Martin ’04 said prior to the start of conference play: “We can contend in this league.” But an 0-3 start including two blowouts ...
The wrestling team may have failed to capture a dual-meet victory on Alumni Weekend, but it would be unfair to say the Bears did not entertain.

The women’s basketball team is in trouble — after a 1-5 start to its Ivy League season, that is undeniable. But now, for the first time since conference play started, the team may be finding its stride. The Bears (13-7, 1-5 Ivy) traveled to Cornell (13-7, 5-1) Friday night with a 0-4 Ivy League ...
Harvard consistently ranks higher nationally than the men’s hockey team, currently in last place. But Bruno (4-16-4, 2-12-3 ECAC) had not lost to the Crimson (13-6-3, 9-4-3) at home since 2011. Bobby Farnham ’12 — current New Jersey Devil — scored the lone goal for the Bears in a 2-1 defeat ...

Despite being statistically eliminated from playoff contention, the women’s hockey team (3-18-3, 1-13-3 ECAC) had no shortage of motivation for a matchup against rival Harvard (12-9-2, 9-6-2) Friday night. “We treated that game like it was our playoff game,” said Head Coach Bob Kenneally ’90. Behind ...
As the men’s tennis team gears up for the bulk of its schedule, the squad has already received some good news for next year.

Brett Favre and Peyton Manning were the first two NFL jerseys I ever had, even though my favorite teams were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Minnesota Vikings. Favre could just plain sling the ball; he willed some of his throws to reach his target. Of course, this gun-slinging approach led to more ...
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one skeptical as I turned on this year’s NHL All-Star Game. Last year’s 29-goal abomination of the sport made me sick. But hey, it’s better than watching the Pro Bowl. Obviously, the biggest and strangest story surrounding the game was the advent of John Scott. Scott, ...
With three distinct seasons on their plates, distance runners go through a physical gauntlet unrivalled in athletics.
