...Detroit gets all the AL Central ink because of their scary lineup, but fans shouldn't forget that the Indians were one game away from the World Series last season before they blew a 3-1 lead to Boston.

...Cornell pounding, 6-3, as freshman Alexandra Sneider went a perfect 3-0 in her bouts. The squad also posted the closest matchup against Columbia, falling, 5-4, before losing 6-3 to Brown.

...entered this year’s ISA Individual Championship as the tournament’s top seed and early favorite. After a pair of three-game wins in the opening two rounds, Grigg was extended to four games in the quarters and the semifinals before eventually defeating Penn freshman phenom Kristen Lange in the championship match to claim the national title. “It was amazing.” Grigg said. “It was the perfect way to go out.” —Staff writer Douglas A.
