    Spring is in the air at Chestnut Hill College and along with the good weather are 3 wins for the women’s lacrosse team. The Chestnut Hill College Women’s Lacrosse team is off to a great season with a current record of 3-1. The Griffins most recent win was over American International College on Thursday. Chestnut Hill walked away with a 21-18 win. This game brought other good news because senior captain Katie Donovan scored thirteen goals against American International to surpass her 200 goal milestone. The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference announced that Katie Donovan was the Lacrosse Player of the Week.

    This past Friday, the Chestnut Hill Activities Team (CHAT) brought the magic of Hogwarts to CHC with a massive Quidditch tournament. More than 6 months in the making, the tournament pitted four fourteen-player teams against each other.

    Quidditch was originally adapted for Muggles from the Harry Potter books by students at Middlebury College (Vermont), but it was Max Kaplan, CHAT’s 2008-2009 vice president, who brought the game to Chestnut Hill. Since last semester, Max and the rest of CHAT have been working tirelessly to make Quidditch on the Hill the must-attend event of the fall semester, and it definitely was!

    Approximately 100 people were in attendance, ranging from players and coaches to students, faculty, and staff. Some students’ families travelled to see the tournament, and representatives from local media outlets were in attendance as well.

    If you’re like me, then Griffins’ basketball is your number one sport, almost like a second religion. It’s the raucous noise in the Arena when it’s packed and Chestnut Hill College is on a run — or even all that nail-biting, yo-yoing pressure going back and forth in the 2nd half, when each possession can decide whether or not we win or lose. I can’t get enough of it. There’s just something about the spectacle of college basketball.

    Competition in the CACC (That’s the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference for you uninitiated out there.) is tough, and the Griffs have had their share of struggles this season. That said, our guards Kevin Whaley and Brandon Williams and forward Trenton Davidheiser have all won CACC Rookie of the Week honors—and they’re all only freshman! As they say in the game, we’ve got nothing but upside.
