| When senior basketball player Patsy Mahoney arrived on campus nearly four years ago, she had full intentions to study engineering through the dual degree program offered between Saint Mary's and the University of Notre Dame. Three years later, she has traveled across Indiana State Road 933 for another academic pursuit."I have kind of always been interested in the new media part of art," said the native of Nashville, Tennessee. An art major earning her degree with concentrations in new media and photography, she first made the leap toward art thanks to a math class at Saint Mary's. Click here to read more. |

Bulldogs Down Wooster in NCAA Tournament Opener
MIAA baseball champion Adrian shook off a shaky start Wednesday, overcoming an early 4-0 deficit to defeat the College of Wooster, Ohio, 8-4, in a first-round game at the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional tournament at Marietta, Ohio.
The Bulldogs (36-8), who had lost their last four NCAA tournament games over the last two years, fell behind in the top of the first as the Fighting Scots bunched together four hits and two walks to score four runs off starter Jason Fryman.
But Adrian didn't take long to show its resilience. R.J. Rios belted a three-run double in the bottom of the first to get the Bulldogs back in the game, and MIAA batting champion Andrew DeLuca evened things up at 4-4 with an RBI single in the second.
MIAA Most Valuable Position Player Kyle Strawn put the Bulldogs ahead to stay in the fifth with an RBI single, and Adrian added three insurance runs in the eighth.
Fryman didn't allow a runner past second base after that rocky first inning, going seven innings for his school-record 11th win of the season.
The Bulldogs play again at 8 p.m. Thursday against the winner of Wednesday night's game between Manchester, Ind. and Washington & Jefferson, Pa.
