WISDOM: Sean Madigan is the last remaining Anteater from the 2007 College World Series team.

Physical education was the best and worst class I took in middle and high school. On one hand, I figured, “Are you kidding me? I get an easy A for playing basketball, softball, dodgeball, flag football and I get to watch ‘Remember The Titans’ over-and-over again when inclement weather strikes.”

NOPE: The NCAA rejects center Maxime Chupin’s bid to play at UCI; he will return to France this summer.

CORTNEY: The senior water polo player hopes to end her career with a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

PLAYOFFS: UCI swept Hawaii in the opening round of the MPSF tournament; they now travel to No. 1 USC.

HOME: Reyes beat UCD twice with suicide squeezes and Hillman crushed a walkoff homer against USD.

In collegiate sports, reaching the top of the championship mountain is tough – but remaining there is even tougher.

BASEBALL: The Anteaters used a combination of pitching and hitting to beat Pacific.

Last week I was lucky enough to attend a luncheon at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach held by former USC defensive back and National Football League Hall-of-Famer Ronnie Lott. The occasion was Lott’s annual College Football Lott Impact Trophy watch list ceremony.

RELOCATION: The Sacramento Kings might soon say “farewell” to their devastated loyal fans.

DEPARTURES: Star forward and two others to leave Anteaters, 2011-2012 team left without any seniors.

POLO: With two wins against CSUN and UCSB, UCI captured their second Big West title in three years.
