...time goal list. With two games remaining in the season, Akpan, who has 92 career points—two shy of the career record—has a legitimate chance of becoming one of the most productive players in the program. “Akpan has great footwork and he’s always strong on the ball,” Harms said. “He always knows where he needs to be on the field. He’s one of the core players on our team, who has support and really works hard.” Even...
...cookies. A cookie contest for our First Lady? Archaic? Ridiculous? Well then, how 'bout a dance-off between the candidates themselves?

The merger directed the movement. Dancers displayed quick, sharp footwork, but then surprised with slower, sensuous pair interactions. The piece culminated in a kinetic explosion. Set against the backdrop of an abstract expressionist painting, the corps and the principal dancers responded almost instinctively to musical cues. They splattered and dripped with the flick of Pickett’s brush...
