In a busy past week, the men's tennis team defeated Brandeis, Babson and NESCAC foe Trinity in a series of hard-fought wins before losing to Williams on Sunday. The results improve the team's record to 11-5 overall and 4-3 in NESCAC play, with just three matches, including two conference ...

Last week, I predicted that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) would advance past Manchester City to secure a spot in the Champions League semi-finals. As a die-hard City fan, it was not difficult to see that the team was in a bad run of form. When Pep Guardiola was announced to replace current manager Manuel Pellegrini, City was sitting in second, three points off the leaders Leicester City. In the nine games following the announcement, City won just four times, against Sunderland, West Brom, Aston Villa and Bournemouth, none of which are opposition of quality — those teams have averaged just 31 points this season. In the same stretch, City lost at home to title challengers Leicester City and Tottenham, as well as local rivals Manchester United. Manchester City has been the playground bully this year. Against smaller sides, they've looked confident, but when it comes to the big boys, it's been a different story. In fact, City has garnered just six points from a possible thirty six against top eight teams this season (their only win came against Southampton in November). With this in mind, and considering a history of underwhelming Champions League performances, I didn’t give City a chance against a PSG side that has been nearly unbeatable this year. Let me tell you, I have never been happier to be wrong.

Every time the Colorado Rockies play baseball, I find myself following their games closely, waiting for the batting order to turn over. I have never been to Denver, and I do not root for the team.
