The Tigers’ program-record 10-game winning streak came to an end Saturday, as former Towson Head Coach Missy Doherty and her Penn State Nittany Lions edged Towson 15-8 in an NCAA Tournament first round battle at Johnny Unitas Stadium. Penn State outscored Towson 9-3 in the second half to come away with the victory. Towson hadn’t lost since March 27 when  the team fell 13-3 to Maryland, and had won all 10 of its home games [...]

The club men’s rugby team is achieving a feat that they haven’t accomplished since the early 1990s. The team will be traveling to Utah May 18 and 19 to participate in the Final Four Championship. It’s been a long season for the Division II team that has yielded some of the best results in recent team history. Towson ended the fall season just short of winning the Potomac Rugby Union Championships, falling to local rival [...]

Should the Knicks trade Amar’e Stoudemine? Jesse: I’ve been back-and-forth with this one. Amar’e has had times where he has been great in New York, and then he’s had times where he’s been completely out of it (a la punching a fire extinguisher). There have been instances where he can be on the court at the same time as Carmelo, and the Knicks flourish. There have also been times where both look inept and completely [...]

No matter how many kisses he blows, helmets he flips off, or mohawks he shaves into his head, I will always be one of Bryce Harper’s biggest fans. As a Nationals fan since they came back to D.C. in 2005, I must say that the 19-year-old phenomenon provides a spark to the Nationals that I have never seen before. With a .300 average, .500 slugging percentage and .405 on-base percentage, Harper is off to a [...]

Kenny Johnson, former Towson assistant men’s basketball coach, is the newest addition to Tom Crean’s coaching staff at Indiana University. The Hoosiers finished 27-9 with an 11-7 record in Big Ten play last season. Johnson replaces Indiana’s Bennie Seltzer who left the school to take a head coaching position at Samford University with the Bulldogs. A member of Pat Skerry’s inaugural coaching staff, Johnson only spent one season with the Tigers. He previously spent four [...]

Towson (25-30, 8-11 CAA) ended its season at the hands of the James Madison Dukes (29-24, 15-5 CAA) in the 11th inning Saturday, losing a two-run lead in the tenth inning en route to a 7-6 loss at Memorial Park in Harrisonburg, Va. On a day where Towson pitcher Kate Lingmai became the first pitcher in school history to record 200 strikeouts, the Tigers lost the decisive game in dramatic fashion. After two losses in [...]

A warm light and striking clapping sounds flood the stage in the Stephens Hall Theatre. Frozen in action, dancers clap their way to an intersection of movement and sound. This is “Intersections,” a performance featuring the works of the Towson University Dance Company, the ballet and the men’s modern dance repertory classes. The 20-person dance company opens the show with “Change?,” which integrates musical styles ranging from Antonio Vivaldi to Mary J. Blige. Assistant Director [...]
