What do tight short-shorts, cut-off jerseys and big balls remind you of? Well, for me, only one thing comes to mind: a game in an old man softball league.

Track And Field: UCI upstart team collectively shares the work ethic, mentality and the arms to go far.

baseball: Number one Anteater baseball goes 4-1 on the week behind strong performances from arms and bats.

Flying through the air is normally associated with a few things, including superheroes and anything with wings. Well, add one more to that list: red-shirt freshman volleyballer Carson Clark. You might as well call him Carson Clark "Kent" because when the offensive machine's jersey comes on and the scoreboard lights up, he has the tendency to get his flight on.

After riding on a five-game winning streak and its last win against 16th-ranked California State University Long Beach just two days before, the ninth-ranked UC Irvine women's water polo team fell 7-5 to 13th-ranked California State University Northridge at the Anteater Aquatics Complex on Saturday. With the loss, UCI failed to grab sole poession of the regular season conference title, but will share that distinction with UC Davis and CSUN. The Anteaters now drop to a record of 4-1 (20-9 overall) in the Big West Conference.

Volleyball: Top-ranked Anteaters sweep fourth-ranked Stanford and Pacific en route to MPSF title.

Baseball: Baseball is 3-1 on the week to improve to 26-10. Bats get hot at the Riverside Sports Complex.

Track and Field: UCI men's and women's squads are making names for themselves.

I am the voice of our Anteater, because all he can do is say ZOT. This is my "conversation" with Peter the Anteater.

volleyball: Men's team looks scary good as they toy with top-ranked Pepperdine University at the Bren.

Tennis: Women's tennis team dominates Cal State Fullerton at home 7-0, looks ahead to Big West Championships.

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. When he tells you he plays baseball, your first guess at his position will most certainly be pitcher. His 6-foot-2-inch, 195 pound frame suggests it.
