Michigan. Syracuse. Penn State. Santa Clara. Arkansas. What school is this again? Surely not Utah Valley, the school not good enough to get into the WAC, the school without a football team. For the programs mentioned above, however, the Wolverines apparently make the cut. Volleyball, soccer, werstling and men’s basketball all feature dates […]
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGmPdd3EUY8&feature=channel_video_title No official status on C.J. Cron’s gruesome right knee injury was given Monday night. What was said by multiple parties, however, was enough to know the Owlz are both disappointed and relieved at the same time. The 17th overall pick of the 2011 MLB draft dislocated his kneecap in his first at-bat in […]
No C.J. Cron, no problem. The Owlz bats continued to produce despite playing without the league-leader in home runs, sweeping their four-game home series against Ogden with an 11-5 win Monday night. Ryan Jones went 4-for-5 and four RBI, Taylor Lindsey went 3-for-5 for two RBI, and Kaleb Cowart 2-for-4 for two RBI. […]
This year’s freshman class is the biggest yet, and they’re not even done enrolling. For all you upperclassmen who scornfully reply, “So what?” consider this: 18 of the 42 combined players currently on the women’s volleyball and soccer rosters are freshmen. That’s 42 percent for you stat geeks out there. With 15 true freshmen. That’s […]
From the time Akwasi Frimpong was a small child in Ghana, Africa, he knew what he wanted. “I remember thinking, ‘I want a gold medal,’” he said. “I wanted to have something to show I was the best.” Frimpong has come a long way since then. If the UVU sprinter has his way, it will […]
The relationship between sports and drama can be overblown. For every Jim and Jane that eats up all the drama leading up to “Rivalry Week,” there’s a Fillmore and Gertrude asking, “What’s the big deal?” That being said, this committee of one will contest that drama can be found on any level of sport, and […]
For some programs, summer camps are a last resort to fill out rosters. For Wolverines baseball head coach Eric Madsen, they are a steady source of legitimate talent. “The camp’s a big part of our recruiting process,” Madsen said. The results support the argument. Senior Jake Rickenbach was recruited after attending a summer camp. Three […]
Wolverines outfielder Kirk Doxey may be ruled ineligible for his senior season by the NCAA, the Daily Herald reported. The potential suspension comes due to a summer league Doxey played in just before his freshman year. At the time, he was not yet been enrolled at Utah Valley University. Doxey could not be […]
Owlz starter Logan Odom gave up a game-opening solo home run, and it looked as though Orem might already be headed to its seventh straight loss. Instead it proved to be an aberration, as Odom and the Owlz shut out Idaho Falls for the rest of the game. The first-year player from USC allowed just […]
Leather balls and gloves get the attention. Always have, always will. With the limelight focused there, however, Utah Valley fans risk missing what’s happening with leather saddles and plastic crosses (lacrosse sticks, not religious emblems) likewise competing under the Wolverine logo and colors. Same school, different status. They are club teams, a local label that […]
