Football's success is built on this senior class

Football's success is built on this senior class

When Greg Debeljak was 40, it was a very good year.

Since this year's senior class has stepped on campus, they have had tremendous success. In their first year, the team won 5 games. Winning half of your games is considered average by most standards, but for Case football at the time, it was an improvement.

Who is better? The Colts or the Saints? They are two teams that we could be definitely seeing in the Super Bowl come February (especially due to Bill Belichick's decision Sunday night) and they are both undefeated. But who is the more complete team as we pass the halfway point of the season?

Spartan Spotlight: Erin Hollinger

Erin Hollinger is a sophomore forward for the women's basketball team. Hollinger, an All-UAA selection last season, is from Chardon, Ohio and majoring in Chemical Engineering.

Women's basketball drops lidlifter

The women's basketball team lost its season opener on Monday, 70-65, at Washington & Jefferson College. The Spartans will travel back to Pennsylvania this weekend for the University Athletic Association/Ohio Athletic Conference Challenge. They open up with John Carroll University tonight at 6 p.

The Spartans returned home from nearby Baldwin-Wallace College with something they hadn't achieved since the federation of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University: a victory. The victory was the Spartans' only win in the past 12 meetings of the two schools.

What's more gratifying: the journey or the destination? After winning the Veale Classic this past weekend by defeating John Carroll University and then Wooster, the men's swimming and diving team resoundingly reaped the fruits of their labor, putting into perspective their arduous journey towards the victory.

The men's and women's cross country teams were in opposite positions entering the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championships last Saturday. The women were ranked No. 13 in the nation, while the men did not even make the top ten ranking in the region. However, both finished the race with a chance to be selected for the national championship meet tomorrow, hosted by Baldwin-Wallace College and held at the Highland Park Golf Club in Cleveland.

Football Gameday: Case vs. Trine

The Spartans will host the first game of their third-consecutive playoff berth. Saturday, they will face Trine University, a week after a victory over Washington University that wrapped up a spectacular undefeated season and yet another UAA Championship. Case holds the third seed of their region in their playoff bracket.
