Waiting in line at OfficeMax to buy notebooks, you realize you've left your wallet on your desk back in Regis. The Stag Bus is pulling around any minute, you need these notebooks tomorrow for class and all you have in your pocket is a room key, StagCard and some lint.

Hot start in Hartford: The women's golf team impressed in the opening round of the 2008 Hartford Women's Invitational.

To the Editor, As a junior on the Fairfield Women's Rowing team, I have grown accustomed to the lack of attention that your newspaper has paid to my particularly hard working team. I no longer search The Mirror for mention of my team and our weekly accomplishments because I know that my search is futile.

While Senior Night is supposed to be an opportunity to reminisce about the past, the men's lacrosse team provided a glimpse into its future on Saturday night.

The women's lacrosse team won its 13th game in a row on Sunday against Canisius, improving its record to 13-1 overall and 5-0 in the MAAC. Fairfield now holds the longest winning streak and are tied for the most wins in the nation. Only two teams have a better win-loss record than the Stags.
