Take one look at freshman Ronnie Shaeffer and the only thing sign that he plays baseball might be some form of UC Irvine baseball gear he is wearing.

water polo: The Anteaters continue to make strong strides on the road to a Big West League Championship.

Letters: A female Anteater fan professes and defends her love for sports. Listen up ladies; the boys respect it.
