More than 1,500 fans were on hand Saturday to watch Chicago best Wash U 76–67 in a grinding physical affair. The win capped a perfect 25–0 regular season, an unprecedented event in U of C basketball history.
On paper, the game between Wash U (20–4, 10–3) and Chicago (24–0, 13–0) tomorrow night means little. But in the last few years, the Wash U-Chicago rivalry has escalated to an entirely different level.
Chicago easily defeated Brandeis (8–16, 1–12) and NYU (10–14, 2–11) this past weekend, cementing their claim to the UAA title and the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter spoke to students in Stuart Hall last night on the challenges of owning and operating a WNBA franchise.

Chicago clinched at least a share of the UAA title Sunday, defeating a stingy Case Western squad 73–44. It seemed like the Spartans would pose a greater challenge, having lost a close game to a very good Wash U team only two days prior, but Chicago outscored Case in the second half 50–26 to break...
This quarter, however, to the delight of fruit lovers everywhere, the Athletic Administration decided to open a Jamba Juice near the main entrance of Ratner.

The undefeated Maroons (16–0, 5–0) extended their NCAA-best regular season winning streak to 34 games this weekend with wins over NYU (9–7, 1–4) and Brandeis (7–9, 0–5). Chicago is now one of six remaining unbeaten NCAA teams.
Chicago will head east this weekend to play Carnegie Mellon and Case Western after overpowering Marian (WI) at home on Tuesday. Carnegie (6–6, 0–1) and Case (8–4, 1–0) are not powerhouses in the UAA, sitting in last and fourth, respectively. Chicago (12–0, 1–0) is undefeated in the weekend after playing their rivals in the past seven years..
As far as rivalries go, Wash U (10–2) versus Chicago (11–0) is one of the biggest in D-III sports. The Maroons pulled off a 65-62 victory against the highly-ranked Bears on Saturday.
Saturday can’t come soon enough for Chicago. Inter-conference play begins this weekend with the Maroons (10–0) traveling to St. Louis to take on Wash U (10–1). Chicago had one last tune-up Tuesday against the Vikings of Bethany Lutheran (1–9), and despite winning by 21 and leading by as many as 30 points throughout the night,...
Being one of the best teams in the country can have its downsides. Just ask the Maroons. After decimating a lackluster Fontebonne squad in a 36-point win, Chicago faced a stiff challenge in a MaCalester squad looking to prove that they could compete against the best. For a short while, it seemed that they could..
Every championship run has to start somewhere. For the Maroons, it begins Friday as they take on Fontbonne as part of the UChicago Tip-off Tournament. Chicago is the only ranked squad in the field, sitting at second in the country, behind last year’s national champions, Amherst..
Joe Paterno’s name will be removed from the Big Ten conference trophy as a result of Penn State’s child abuse scandal, the Big Ten announced yesterday. The trophy will be renamed the Stagg Championship Trophy, in honor of Amos Alonzo Stagg, who coached at the University of Chicago for 40 years, from 1892 to 1932..
Tomorrow’s national qualifying race might very well be the last time I ever run cross country for the University of Chicago. I don’t think it will be my last race—our team is very strong and we have an excellent opportunity to make it out of our region. But even if we do qualify, next week’s...
Fall has always been my favorite season as an athlete. The weather is perfect for playing sports, football season is in full swing, the World Series is on, and the NBA season is just about ready to start (well, most of the time). But fall is also special for another reason altogether—it’s finally time for...
At long last, a win. Chicago (6–6–2) defeated Concordia (3–13–1) yesterday by a score of 4–0. The game was a one-sided affair most of the way, with Chicago controlling the tempo throughout.
Chicago (5–4–2, 0–2) fell to Carnegie Mellon (5–4–1, 1–1) 3–2 on Sunday, October 9 in a back-and-forth affair that mirrored the Maroons’ up-and-down season.

As other students sleepily made their way to their first Monday morning classes, five members of Chicago’s rowing team, fourth years Emily Lo, Chelsea Steffen, Sasha Ostapenko, John Kohler, and third-year Emily Chen, as well as their coach, Rosemary Anderson, returned home from a four-day long journey to Paris. .
There is one very distinct group of students that is continually unable to enjoy the study abroad experience to its fullest capacity: Varsity athletes.
One of my favorite parties of the year is Psi U’s “Rep(resent) your city” party. Walking around the frat’s house and seeing a rainbow of jerseys from all over the country is always interesting, because as a native Chicagoan, I sometimes forget that people are allowed to like teams that don’t play their home games...
