Making Some Changes

As much as we hoped for the JMU football team to make the playoffs, the team has crumbled before our eyes, losing their fourth conference game in a row. We feel it is in our blog and reader's best interest that we start writing about the other sports at JMU that are significantly more successful.

Our women's soccer team just won the CAA championship and we will post later today who they are selected to play in the first round of the NCAA playoffs.

Basketball season is just around the corner and Colleen will have an exclusive interview with the women's head coach Kenny Brooks on Thursday, so expect a post on his thoughts later in the week.

Matt has been covering the volleyball team all season, and with the match-ups this weekend crucial for a postseason tournament bid, he has the scoop on whether or not senior Lindsay Callahan will play. Callahan is currently nursing a pinky injury.

Also, the men's basketball team will travel to Kansas State University Friday to take on the No. 3 Wildcats in an exhibition game. While the odds are stacked against the Dukes, it will be a good chance for them to showcase how they are coming back from an injury-plagued team last season. We will write a post-game recap afterward. The game will be on ESPNU at 9:00 p.m.

Keep following us as we broaden our horizons with JMU athletics.
