Call them zombies: just in time for Halloween, the Sagehens are back from the dead. On Wednesday, the Sagehens entered their final game against CMS with their backs to the wall. After 90 minutes of some of the most physical soccer in SCIAC history, the Sagehens emerged clutching a 2-1
Soccer in America: Highlights from “Should Americans Watch More Soccer?”
The Pomona Student Union hosted a social debate entitled “Should Americans Watch More Soccer?” last Thursday. The lighthearted panel discussion focused on some of the major issues facing American soccer fans—a weak domestic league, poor TV viewership, and the overall perception that soccer is not an American sport.

Zack Burke ’10 had a mouth full of curly fries and a quesadilla, but it didn’t stop him from discussing life after Pomona-Pitzer soccer.“Now that the season’s over, only God can judge me,” Burke said earnestly. The Sagehens’ season ended earlier than expected last week when P-P lost in the
A Lesson in Beerconomics: The Wealth of Libations
