Sports
section turning over a new leaf in the fall
By
Michael Bower
Sports Editor
Finally,
just what we have all been waiting for,
school to begin and the NBA season to end.
OK,
maybe the NBA thing is just me, but everyone
should be excited about Long Beach State
athletics this fall.
The
women's volleyball team is looking to rebound
from a lackluster season last year while
the women's soccer team is looking to continue
its march toward a Big West Conference championship
under new head coach Mauricio Ingrassia.
Cross
Country will also be in action along with
the men's water polo team. The men's and
women's basketball teams will kick off their
seasons in November.
Fall
is sure to be an exciting semester for sports
on the Long Beach campus and the Online
49er is hoping to bring you the most up-to-date
coverage possible. If you cannot make an
event—don't worry—we will.
The
sports section of the Online 49er will have
many new additions this semester. Most of
all, I want to get you, the reader, involved
with the sports page, which is why any comments,
questions or opinions on the sports page
or Long Beach State athletics will be welcomed.
If you have an opinion on how a team is
playing or a coach is coaching send it to
sportsd49er@yahoo.com, and some e-mails
may be chosen to appear in print.
The
sports staff will also be selecting an Athlete
of the Week, which will appear in print
every Thursday. We are currently brainstorming
a name for our Athlete of the Week piece.
If you have any suggestions e-mail them
to sportsd49er@yahoo.com.
A
special 49er Mail Box section will also
be a new addition to the sports page. This
piece will consist of answers to questions
which are e-mailed in from readers. Not
all questions can be responded to, but the
sports staff will do its best to get to
all it can.
The
sports staff on the Online 49er is looking
to keep the reader as informed as possible.
We always like to hear positive feedback,
but negative feedback is appreciated as
well.
I
hope the sports section of the Online 49er
becomes your first source of information
for Long Beach State athletics. I am looking
forward to an exciting semester of sports
here at Long Beach State, and to making
the sports section in the Online 49er a
part of your everyday activities.
