Football: Defeat seals losing season for first time since 1992
For the first time in 17 years, the Washington University football team (4-6, 1-2 UAA) finished the season with a losing record.
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: Bears snap losing streak with 26-14 win
The defensive unit of Washington University’s football team forced four turnovers en-route to a 26-14 win over Ohio Wesleyan University, ending a two-game losing skid 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.

The Washington University football team held the nation’s best offense in check for much of the game, but could not recover from two late touchdowns by No. 11 Wabash College.
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.
Football: Bears rebound from big loss with a 23-0 rout
After Sept. 19’s crushing 46-0 home defeat to Wittenberg University, Washington University was left with multiple questions.
Junior runningback Jim O’Brien answered those questions on Saturday, earning a career-high 146 rushing yards in the team’s 23-0 win over Rhodes College (2-3).
Offensive line shut down, crowd silenced in 46-0 rout
The air around Francis Field was heavy with disappointment Saturday afternoon as the Washington University football team suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Wittenberg University Tigers. With a final score of 46-0, it was evident that the Tigers were dominant on both the offensive and defensive fronts; the second quarter alone provided 36 of Wittenberg’s 46 points.
Bears’ late TD seals first victory in wild contest
Junior halfback Sam Kentor’s 1-yard charge into the end zone with 3 minutes and 41 seconds left in the fourth quarter, his second touchdown of the day, gave Washington University a 41-35 victory over Westminster College on Saturday in a wild game of twists and turns.
