Summit commissioner pleased with Jackrabbits
The Summit League commissioner, Tom Douple, is a busy man. However, this academic semester, Douple has left his office in Elmhurst, Ill., and seen the Jackrabbits earn a win in the NCAA Women’s Cup (soccer).

Fast start helps SDSU women rout Oral Roberts
Before the Oral Roberts/SDSU women’s basketball match-up, Jacks’ head coach Aaron Johnston was given a basketball to celebrate his 200th win.

Wrong basketball causes problems with shooting
On Dec. 6, before the SDSU/Oral Roberts match up, head Jackrabbit women’s basketball coach Aaron Johnston made news when he received a ball for his 200th win. Two days earlier, a game ball used at Frost Arena made news for an entirely different reason. The Centenary/SDSU women’s game, which was officiated by Phil Streit, Mary Toberman and Zac Brost, had a men’s basketball instead of the standard women’s basketball.
Second to last column tells of editor’s experience at paper
A few weeks back, someone asked what my last column would be. I had no answer. I guess I didn’t want to face the reality of a life without The Collegian. But kind of like facing a life with a realization that girls are attractive and not full of cooties, life must go on.

Q & A with the Sports Editor Ariy-El Boynton
Q: Now that we are a couple weeks out from the fifth match-up for the “rock,” did any one team, either the Bison or the Jacks, hold an upper hand in the last five years? A: The “rock” that you speak of is the Dakota Marker, which was showed off by Jacks’ players at Fargo on Nov.
