Sideline Scholars: Thomas to lead AU to '05 NCAAs

By Jesse Epstein · Thursday, Dec. 9, 2004

It's been a four-year struggle for recognition of unfulfilled potential and glimpses of stardom for AU forward Jason Thomas. But his 23-point, 11-rebound performance on Saturday as AU knocked off national power Vermont may be the late turning point in his career. Say what you will about honorable mention All-American Taylor Coppenrath's 22 points and 15 rebounds, or point guard T.J. Sorrentine's 27 points, or AU sophomore Andre Ingram's 19 points on four back-breaking three-pointers. But Jason Thomas was clearly the best player on the court Saturday.

Sports Brief: Men's Track out of the blocks for indoor season

By Ian Quillen · Thursday, Dec. 9, 2004

The AU Men's Track and Field team came out of the blocks flying in the Navy Invitational last Friday night at the Navy Lidlifter meet in Annapolis, Md., taking three individual titles back to D.C. after the first meet of the indoor season. AU dominated the middle-distance categories, picking up all its individual wins in that area. Senior Sean Duffy won the 3,000-meter run in 8:21.55, beating two pursuing Navy runners by about four seconds, while AU sophomore Rob Hoffman finished fifth. Meanwhile, sophomore Dustin Ermani took the 800-meter title, completing the four laps in 1:55.65, while his teammates finished fourth, seventh and 15th.

Eagles beat Vermont in thriller, 67-64

By Ian Quillen | December 6

AU forward Jason Thomas just missed a new career scoring high on Saturday, merely tying his previous mark of 23 points. And with two foul shots, two seconds left and a two-point lead over Vermont, he also failed to clinch the game, missing one shot, leaving the Catamounts with a chance to tie. But the senior did just about everything else for the Men's Basketball team, even intercepting Vermont's last-second Hail Mary inbounds pass, in an impressive 67-64 win at Bender Arena over the Catamonts, a team that has been drawing national attention.

Sideline Scholars: Eagles and fans brought 'A' game vs. UVM

By Phil Turner | December 6

Bender Arena felt like a real college basketball stadium and the men's hoops team looked like a real team on Saturday afternoon when it took down Vermont in arguably the most exciting home game since the Patriot League championship game in 2002. The normally reserved, offish, elitist, "I'm too tired to cheer because I've been studying cross-cultural communications" (or some similar waste-of-time homework) crowd that has come to typify AU school spirit took on a different tune for the 1:00 p.m. game.
