For the first time in Wooster’s cricket history (that dates back to the 1990s,) the College’s cricket team participated in the international Chivnarine Chanderpaul Trophy held in Florida from March 17-21. The team consisted of 15 players representing Pakistan, Bosnia, India, Nepal, Zimbabwe and the United States.

The Wooster softball team split a double header on Tuesday against Baldwin-Wallace College. Both games provided exciting finishes, as Baldwin-Wallace was able to curve the Scots’ comeback effort in the first game, but could not stop the Scots in the second.

The men’s golf team placed fifth in the 27-hole John Carroll Invitational at Fowler’s Mill Golf Course at Chesterland, Ohio last Friday, April 2.† Michael Peters ’10 led the team with an 18-hole result of 71 and finished the tournament in 108 strokes, placing him tied for sixth out of 40 golfers in the competition.

A month into the season, the Scots’ offense has treated opposing pitchers about as nicely as the National Rifle Association treats gun control activists. The Scots’ loaded lineup is a big reason why the Scots have lived up to their lofty preseason billing.

The three consecutive home victories have brought the Scots back to 6-4 overall and 1-1 in conference.† The team began the three game homestand with a 16-6 victory over St. Vincent College on March 24.† Pat Coyne ’10 led the charge with four goals, including a first quarter hat trick, as well as an assist.

Sports Editor Matthew Yannie recently talked to baseball player Greg Van Horn ’11. Van Horn is the starting shortstop for the Scots this season.
