“The match was anyone’s up until ECS’s Sierra Orr served two consecutive aces, bringing the lead to Eastern Connecticut. From there, the Seahawks were on fire, and the set ended with them in a 25-18 lead.At this point, the teams went into a fourth set.“ .

Diving into this album, one is hit with a wall of sound that comes in hard and doesn’t let up. The first tones of the song I see through you harken back to the overly-artificial synthesizers found in the introductions of 1980’s educational science videos.” .

UMass Dartmouth senior Tom Sheran won the Great Northeast Atlantic Conference Championship in commanding fashion over the weekend by carding a two-day total of 145, topping runner-up Claudio Soukamneuth of Johnson & Wales by seven strokes. Sheran fired an even par round of 72 on Saturday at Blackstone National Golf Club in Sutton, MA, and then closed out the tournament with a one-over par 73 on Sunday. The senior putted well over the weekend and distanced himself from the field by carding 9 birdies. He also took advantage of the par 5s, playing them in 3-under overall. This is the second time in Sheran’s career that he has earned the title of GNAC Player of the Year.” Sports: Sheran wins GNAC Championship to earn Player of the Year golf honors. By Greg Estabrooks.

“One of the most noticeable winners of the night was the Nobel Prize for Physics recipient Donna Strickland. As the first woman to win the award in fifty-five years, and third in general, the win seemed like a grand statement towards women in the science field. Strickland, alongside her co-inventor Gérard Mourou, developed a method of “generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses” according to the Nobel Prize website. In a subsequent NPR interview, Strickland gushed about the honor, proclaiming, “I feel unbelievably honored to be, you know, with Marie Curie and Goeppert Mayer. It’s like, how can I be in the same breath as those three?” Arts & Entertainment: Women make a strong impact on the Nobel Prizes. By Seth Tamarkin. (Link in Bio)

“The Corsairs traveled up to Castleton, Vermont this weekened to take on the Castleton Spartans. In what proved to be a very competitive match, the Corsairs would eventually pull away with a win. A heroic 59th minute goal from Joe Morehead would be the game winner for UMass Dartmouth in their 2-1 men’s soccer victory during the Saturday evening match in Castleton Vermont.” • Sports: Men’s soccer takes home a win from Castleton, Vermont.

“The crowd’s energy was electric, unlike anything I had experienced at a UMass event thus far. It was packed. By the time the show started, there were people already content with standing in the back instead of hunting for the sparse free seats in the establishment. When the curtains opened, the clamoring crowd fell silent. Complete Destruction sauntered to the stage in full drag, dressed as a wicked witch. Well-worded, with clipping tones and clearly well-accepted banter, they started the performances off with introductions.” Arts & Entertainment: LGBTQ fundraiser drag show awes crowd.
