This One's Personal

Greetings from Goucher College, land of the Gophers. Goucher happens to be my alma mater and it's always interesting to come back and see which old faces are still around.

Today's men's soccer game is an interesting match-up as the Shoremen's staunch defense will go up against Goucher's potent offense. Washington will also be trying to avenge a 2-1 loss to the Gophers last year.

Washington/Wesley Field Hockey

Live under the scorer's tent in Dover ... we are 10 minutes from game time. Heavy rain shower moved through earlier. We are dry right now, but we'll see for how long.

Delmarva Bragging Rights

While Washington College has a storied rivalry with fellow Eastern Shore of Maryland school Salisbury University, another school on the Delmarva, Wesley College, is Washington's closest rival, at least in terms of geography. Less than 35 miles of back roads separates Washington College from Wesley's campus in Dover, DE.
