Seeking three-peat, experienced lineup poised to continue recent successes
Two national championships. Three consecutive Final Four appearances. Two University Athletic Association championships. Yes, the past three years for the Washington University men’s basketball program have been fruitful, to say the least.
O’Brien’s yardage, TDs speed WU past Chicago
For the second time in the final half of Saturday’s game against the University of Chicago, junior running back Jim O’Brien was free. He had zipped past the entire Maroons defense and was now in open field, with nothing between him and the end zone.
Football: Consecutive fumbles doom Bears in their UAA opener
Ahead 13-0 late in the third quarter, Washington University’s special teams unit fumbled twice, allowing Carnegie Mellon University to score 14 points and take the lead in less than three minutes and sending the Bears to a 21-13 loss on Saturday.

Football: Wooster’s improbable TD run stuns Bears late
The College of Wooster had already been stopped on their previous two trips inside the red zone. Faced with a fourth and one at the 30-yard line, time running out, and an inspired Washington University defense in the way, another stop seemed probable.
Wabash’s late TDs stop Bears’ attempt at upset

Male Athlete of the Week: Tim Machan
In a must-win game against Rhodes College Saturday, Oct. 4th, senior defensive back Tim Machan perhaps made the biggest play of the day only seven minutes into the game. With the Lynx driving into the red zone, Machan intercepted a pass into the end zone, returning it 33 yards. The Lynx would be shutdown for the rest of the game. Machan’s interception and team-leading eight tackles earned him Student Life’s Male Athlete of the Week.
