NCAA Woman of the Year: Tina West
USM student Tina West was named the 2002 NCAA Woman of the Year for the state of Maine. This award honors outstanding female student-athletes who have excelled in academics, athletics and community leadership. It is one of the top honors that the NCAA bestows upon college athletes.
Student-athletes get Wise Awards
Division III athletes are not pampered. They don’t account for much of their university’s revenue, as superstars and franchise types of players do. These athletes are real and dedicated students, not the characters who float around with a ball in their hands and a book somewhere – maybe in the locker, or perhaps at home.

Two Teams.one loser.A Fresh Season for our Field Hockey Team
The field hockey game was a miserable experience. The hurricane that landed here last week-suddenly, after a violent heat wave, coincided with the game, and nobody told me this was going to happen. That was okay though. We won.
Health Beat
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is a modest, increased risk of bacterial meningitis on college campuses. It strikes one in 100,000 people in the general population versus 3.2 cases per 100,000 people living in residence halls.
Freshmen bulk up soccer teams for ’02 season
