Different men's lacrosse players who chipped in goals in the Jumbos' 22-8 thrashing of the Lasell Lasers yesterday. Senior tri-captain Clem McNally topped the category with five goals, while sophomore Ryan Molloy added a hat trick and four assists. Six Jumbos also scored once for their first collegiate goals, including sophomores Alec Bialosky and T.C. Neuhs and freshmen Kevin McCormick, Jordan Korinis, Tucker Delaney-Winn and Sean Kirwan.

Now the number 21 can now be synonymous with money for a reason other than Blackjack: 21 NFL players signed contracts this offseason worth more than 20 million dollars. Leading the pack was the Redskins' newly-acquired defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who will be raking in 100 million dollars over the next seven years with 41 million of those dollars guaranteed to him. 100 million in this economy? It must be a Ponzi scheme.

Number of women's track and field members that qualified for the NCAA Div. III National Indoor Championships to be held Terre Haute, Ind. this weekend. Of these six, four of them — sophomores Amy Wilfert and Stephanie McNamara, senior Halsey Stebbins and senior tri-captain Jackie Ferry — are members of a DMR squad ranked No. 1 in the nation heading into the meet. The other two qualifiers include freshmen Nakeisha Jones, who hold the No. 2 seed in the triple jump, and Dayorsha Collins, competing in the high jump.

Players current able to suit up for the Boston Celtics. Rajon Rondo and Glen "Big Baby" Davis have both suffered sprained ankles recently, while Kevin Garnett has been inactive since straining his knee in a Feb. 20th contest against the Utah Jazz. Tony Allen and Brian Scalabrine, meanwhile, are both feared to be out for the regular season. The Celtics are left with no choice but to give steady minutes to Mikki Moore, Gabe Pruitt, Bill Walker, J.R. Giddens and (gasp!) Stephon Marbury.

Hmm, Deja vu? Like their female counterparts, six men's track and field members qualified for the NCAA Div. III Championships. On the DMR team are junior Billy Hale, senior Phil Rotella, junior Scott Brinkman and junior Jesse Faller. The DMR squad enters the meet ranked fifth after winning the ECAC title this past weekend. Rounding out the six are senior quad-captain James Bradley, who enters the meet ranked fourth in the high jump, and junior quad-captain Nick Welch, running the 5k.

Number of consecutive games lost by the DePaul Blue Demons after winning a game on Dec. 28 against Alcorn State. The Demons broke the spell with a hugely unexpected 67-57 win over Cincinnati yesterday in the opening round of the Big East tournament. A 15-2 run in the second half brought DePaul, who will face Providence in round two today, from a three-point deficit to a 10 point lead, one that they would not relinquish.
