REDEMPTION AT LAST
Seawolves move on in playoffs for first time in history

Nobody saw it coming.

The University of Alaska Anchorage is going to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Five. The unranked Seawolves upset the nation’s sixth-ranked team, the Wisconsin Badgers, two games to one in the best-of-three first round of the WCHA playoffs at Madison, Wis. The March 12-14 series win takes UAA where no Seawolf hockey squad has gone before.

Downtrodden Seawolves still on the up
Gymnasts overcome injuries for strong home finish

The Seawolves gymnastics team could publish its own medical dictionary and identify ailments by mug shots of team members. This season the team has featured a broken foot, a shoulder dislocation, sesamoiditis (a foot injury), and a bone contusion with cartilage damage, to name a few.

Lack of track doesn’t hold Seawolves back

The sprinters can’t wear their spikes. The discus thrower can’t throw her discus. The long-distance runners have nowhere to run. Essentially, they’re a track and field team without a track or a field.
