The crystal ball:
success predicted for
winter sports
WITH CHANGING SEASON, FORTUNE
TELLING FAN PREDICTS WINS FOR
BASKETBALL, SWIMMING
By Michael Foxx
Staff Writer
When you see people outside, you're starting
to see more coats and gloves, instead of shorts
and flip-flops. It means time to bring out the
hoodies, sweatpants, and toboggans to prepare
for the cold weather. So gather around the
fireplace with some hot chocolate and bring out
the crystal ball for predications.
Women’s basketball (Last year: 14-12,
11 -9 ODAC)
Overview: Coming into the season with high
expectations and high spirits, the Quakers' look
to improve this season. Even though the team
is very young, they look to the four returning
veterans for experience and leadership. The
Lady Quakers' were tabbed seventh in the Qld
Dominion Athletic Conference's annual pre
season poll.
Key Players: Leading scorer, junior guard,
Jazlyn Gibbs (12.4 ppg) brings her offensive
skills back to the team. Senior guard, Lauren
LeFevers, who led the team and ranked eighth
in the ODAC with a .371 three-point field-goal
percentage brings her long-range skills back to
the team.
They Said It: "I feel we have an opportunity
to do very well... as long as we give maximum
effort every time they step on their floor we
will have a successful season." -Head Coach
Stephanie Flamini
My Take: This season will be an interesting
season to watch. As such a young team, theteam
will have to find its rhythm quickly. I believe
when the Quakers' find their groove that
they will be one of the top contenders in the
conference.
I have the Lady Quakers' finishing fourth in
the ODAC.

Homecoming unites Quakers past and present
Bailey Crego, first-year running back, streaks past Catholic University opponents
at the Nov. 6 Homecoming football game. Guilford lost 22-23, but the well-played
game matched the fun and excitement that characterized Homecoming weekend.

Minutes before the start of the homecoming
football game, the stadium beamed with Guilford
pride. The clicking of cleats, whistles and exuberant
applause filled the air with the sounds of the Quaker
Swagger. During the game the crowd came alive,
hanging on every throw and every drive.
Even though the outcome of the game was not the
one fans hoped for, the spirit of homecoming was
not dampened. The game allowed students, alumni,
and kids of all ages to enjoy the Guilford community
together.
"All the events of homecoming lead up to our
homecoming football game," said Luke Vandall, one
of the team's quarterbacks. "If s exciting to see all of
the Guilford community come together and support
the Guilford football team."
Homecoming was not just about football, though.
The campus hosted a diverse set of events for people
of all ages.

him; his hand steadied.
