Lacrosse trumps Monmouth, 12-8

By Kevin Hilgers · Monday, April 12, 2004

It's a good thing AU Women's Lacrosse scored four goals in the first 4:37 of the second half, for it was enough to diminish a late-match charge by the visiting Monmouth Hawks in Saturday's non-conference match. But in the end, AU held on to win, 12-8, at Reeves Field despite being outscored by Monmouth 4-2 in the final 18 minutes of the game.

AU's disabled obstacles

By Evan Wagner | April 12

It is well-known that many AU buildings and offices, such as Gray, Hurst, Roper, McCabe, Watkins, Kreeger, Asbury, Hamilton and the School of International Service are not accessible to physically disabled students. Though this problem is expected to be reduced over the next decade or so as various buildings undergo renovation, it seems that the most frustrating obstacles the disabled or physically challenged have to surmount are less obvious and yet probably easier to fix.
