With finals beginning next week, it's crunch time for most Case students hoping to make the grade this semester. This time of year is also an important time for Cleveland's three professional sports teams: the Indians have just started their season and questions about playoff viability already are coming up, all eyes are on the Browns to see what moves they'll make in the draft tomorrow, and Cavalier fans are hoping that the team building over the last few seasons might finally lead to a championship.
A dry spell stunted the Spartan bats again this weekend as they dropped a doubleheader at Bluffton University. The Spartans managed just one hit, getting shut out in five innings in game one. In the second game, the Spartans combined for six hits but managed to net just one run.
It was a once- or twice-in-a-lifetime chance for most of the players on the Spartans baseball team, when they packed into three vans for the trip to their game last Thursday.

In previous years, the men's tennis team finished seventh out of eight in the UAA conference championships - but not this year. This year, the Spartans refused to settle; instead, they were able to penetrate the rankings and finish fifth in the championship. The Spartans first matched up against the University of Chicago, then the University of Rochester, before finally playing New York University in the fifth-place match on April 18.
