Rowan softball victimized by two TCNJ rallies in doubleheader sweep

On Senior Day this past Tuesday, the Rowan softball team found itself one out away from tying for the New Jersey Athletic Conference lead.

Rowan lacrosse hangs on to defeat Scranton

After going 5-1 in their previous six contests, it seemed like the Rowan Profs lacrosse team would cruise right into their home game against the University of Scranton Royals. Two weeks ago, the Profs defeated the then-top ranked TCNJ and came within an overtime goal of defeating nationally-ranked Catholic University. Despite the fact that games [...]

Yee has breakout junior year

For Rowan lacrosse, the 2010 season has relied heavily on the supporting cast besides senior attack Alayna Morris and junior midfielder Alli Dickey.

Shanley Says: Goodbye for now

For the past fourteen weeks, many of you have read the things I’ve had to say. I’ve written about a wide variety of sports-related topics, and never limited my articles to a particular subject.

Minix mowing down the opposition

Excellence is often a hard thing to measure in sports. For Profs sophomore pitcher Jamie Minix, it certainly isn’t. Minix has been a pleasant surprise for the Rowan softball team. The super-sophomore has posted a stellar 15-3 record with a 1.02 ERA this season while pitching 15 complete games in 109.2 innings. With seniors leaving last season, [...]

Pitching wins two for the Profs

Rowan continued its successful softball season with two wins over Rutgers-Camden on Sunday. The Profs won each game of the doubleheader by the score of 8-0. “Jamie Minix threw two great games today,” said head coach Kim Wilson.  “I think we kept them off balance offensively and we put the ball in play and they [...]

White impresses in first season as Prof

Athletes can be taught how to swing a bat or the best arm angle to throw a ball. What cannot be taught, though, is how to be competitive. Such an X-factor is crucial to winning, as a competitive drive can be exactly what makes a good player great. Rowan’s baseball team has one of those [...]
