Despite the fact that they have played 15 matches already, the volleyball team has yet to play a single game at home. No official reason has been given for the scheduling, but apparently it is because campus-wide construction has made it impossible to figure out how exactly to get to the West Gym.

After seeing how rookie kicker Stephen Gostkowski struggled this week, the New England Patriots should look into signing BU junior forward Kim Povill to take over their kicking duties. Even Jonathan Vilma couldn’t have blocked the 40-yard bullet of a goal Povill scored against FDU on Friday.
