Many people can never seem to find time for the things they love. For example, people will blame their job when they have to give up on hobbies or activities that once meant a lot to them. Not Joe Giamberdino ’15. He works two other jobs and still finds time to be an assistant coach…
Last May, Tomas Adalsteinsson left Macalester to become the new Head Women’s Golf Coach at Williams College. Until that point, Adalsteinsson had been coaching both men’s and women’s golf at Macalester. He had also been the director of the school’s intramural program. The school hired a new golf coach over the summer, but has not,…
From last year to this year, the Macalester women’s soccer team lost several key starters, both due to graduation and injury, opening up several spots in the starting lineup. Although several returners competed for these spots, most were filled by first years, with four different first years starting multiple games so far this season. With…
Thirty-three games add up to over 49 hours of soccer. It’s also how long it had been since Macalester’s Men’s Soccer team lost a regular season game. And then they played Luther College. The Scots started out Sunday’s game in Iowa strong, but were unable to capitalize on any of their first half chances. Things…

On Monday, April 4, Villanova was crowned the champion of the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. Every year this game is the culmination of the extreme hype of March Madness, during which people fill out brackets picking the winner of each matchup. Prizes are available for those in the top percentage of brackets, most of which…

The people at Team IMPACT understand this. Team IMPACT is an organization that pairs college sports teams with young…
Dear Athlete, I play a sport. Last season I didn’t play (it’s a long story, ask me about it), but this coming season I’m playing again. You compete at a collegiate level too and therefore have likely spent a good chunk of your short life playing your sport(s). With that being said, the sport you…
