So far this year, Mankovich’s toughest conference opponent has been Cornell’s Gabe Webster, who defeated Mankovich 7-2 and is third in the EIWA.

Since meeting Lange, Twain has become a strict vegetarian and a devotee of Sant Mat, a strain of Sikh mysticism that advocates hours of daily meditation, abstinence from sex and alcohol, and copious journal keeping as the path to self-realization.
