The University men’s lacrosse program enters its third season of competition in the Liberty Conference of the NCLL. The Hawks, in their first season under Head Coach Jerry Dohn, went 2-0 in fall competitions in 2011, notching a 5-4 win against Rowan and a 7-6 victory over pre-season #12 TCNJ.

Led by senior captains Vin Sodano, Joe Milano, and Michael Asprocolas, the Hawks seek their first ever playoff berth and look to compete for the Liberty Conference Championship.

Be sure to witness the team’s rise to national prominence this spring in home contests against Rutgers-Camden, Rowan, LaSalle, Cabrini, Arcadia, TCNJ, St. Joseph’s, Temple, Delaware Valley, and Rider.

Energy Service Corps

This was an exciting week for the Energy Service Corps, a nonprofit national organization.

They hosted a very successful kick- off meeting on Wednesday February 8 that spread the word of energy conservation.

Weatherizations will be starting this week; they are a free service that will lower your utility bill about 30 percent. This service is funded by donations given by students and faculty from around the campus, every penny given will help bring this world to a brighter future.

The collection boxes have been placed throughout campus and will stay there until the end of the semester.

The ESC asks that all students donate in order to save our Earth from the toxic fluids ink cartridges and cell phones contain.

Because the Energy Service Corps is a nonprofit organization 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards suppliesfor weatherizations.

Interested in teaching kids about saving energy? Join us for four days during spring break to teach in Newark, Trenton and Atlantic City. Food and housing are provided for those willing to participate; for more information or to sign up contact tom at tom@energyservicecorps.org.
