Focus on the positives
Alright look. I could go on and on about the football team taking a beating by arch-rival St. John Fisher on homecoming weekend, but I’m not going to. Just suffice to say, this team has some kinks to work out and a game against 0-6 Frostburg State followed by a bye week is just what the doctor ordered.
Despite the football disaster, homecoming was not a total loss on the South Hill. The women’s tennis team annihilated RIT, winning every match - singles and doubles. With the win, the undefeated Bombers earned the top seed in the Empire 8 tournament which will be hosted by Nazareth on Oct. 24-25. If the Blue and Gold emerge victorious in the conference tourney, they will automatically be in the NCAA championship tournament in the spring. With the way this team is playing, they are certainly worth keeping an eye on.
The women’s soccer team continued its dominance with a weekend sweep, defeating conference rivals Nazareth and Hartwick both on the road. The Bombers are 7-0 in the Empire 8 and are looking once again like a team that could be making some postseason headlines. On top of that, junior Andrea Janda was named the Empire 8 conference player of the week.
So, the football team may have taken a beating, but Bomber fans do have a lot to be excited about. Playoff season is coming and there will be some Ithaca teams in it. Football still has four games remaining and will need our support when they return to Butterfield Stadium on Nov. 7. In the meantime, let’s focus on the positives and realize that Ithaca is still one of the most dominant schools in all of D-III.
