Raiders Steal Game from Devils - Last Second Jump Shot Seals CCSU's Fate
By KYLE DORAU
The Central Connecticut
State University men’s basketball
team (0-2) just couldn’t seem to
deliver the knockout blow to
Colgate on Monday night.
The Raiders took advantage,
stunning the Blue Devils and 2,164
on hand to witness the home opener
at Detrick Gymnasium. Mike
Venezia’s leaner in traffic from the
top of the key as time ran out was the
difference, as Central fell by a score
of 58-57.
The focus after the game was
on free throws. Central went just 12-
22 from the charity stripe, with the
lone bright spot being freshman
Robby Ptacek’s 6-6 performance at
the line.

Women’s Soccer Falls to BC
By KYLE DORAU
NEWTON, Mass. – The
Central Connecticut State University
women’s soccer team had their sea-
son come to an end at the hands of
tenth-ranked Boston College on
Friday, losing 3-0 in the first round of
the NCAA Tournament.
A goal by Boston College for-
ward Caitlin Hiler on a penalty kick
in the 44th minute took the wind out
of the Blue Devils’ sails. Her third
goal of the season set the tone for the
rest of the evening. Two second-half
goals put away the Blue Devils’
chances of advancing.
It seemed clear from the start
that the Eagles were the better team
on this day, looking a step or two fast-
er than the Blue Devils. Central
showed some nerves early, but man-
aged to keep it scoreless for the ma-
jority of the first half.

Local Rock Cats Sell the Experience, not the Game
By KYLE DORAU
New Britain Rock Cats Vice
President and General Manager John
Willi came to Central last week to
speak about the finer points of selling
potential customers on minor league
baseball.
The lecture was given in the
CCSU Bookstore to a group of stu-
dents interested in sports business.
The visit was sponsored by the CCSU
Marketing Club.
The General Manager’s role is
portrayed as a glamorous one in
Major League Baseball, jet setting
from ballpark to ballpark and propos-
ing scores of trades. In the minors, it
is decidedly more of a marketing
position.

Eagles Defend the Nest Against Devils
By KYLE DORAU
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. –
Central men’s basketball (0-1) was
able to f ly with the Boston College
Eagles (1-0) for half of the game, but
BC’s depth and size caught up to the
Blue Devils as they fell 80-65 at
Conte Forum on Friday.
Sophomore Ken Horton led
CCSU with 21 points, logging a
team-high 35 minutes against the
ACC power. Central seemed unphased by the big-time environment,
flying out of the gate with seemingly
limitless energy. The Blue Devils led
by as many as
seven in the
first half, silencing the
crowd of
4,197.
“We
hung in there
for a little while,” said Horton. “I
think we take this as a learning expe-
rience and work on our rebounds.”
