A Day In The Life, Water Polo Style
Alyssa Malfatti

 

With water dripping from her hair, senior water polo player Alex Tyrrell, senior, ENVS, sat down to talk to the Otter Realm. Tyrell has a bittersweet feeling about graduating and moving on, but she will never forget the life lessons at CSUMB.
Growing up in Wildomar, it was triple-digit summers that kept Tyrell in the pool. Her love for swimming soon turned into a passion for water polo, which she started getting into in high school, claiming the sport was more interactive and fun.

Men’s Golf In Strong Position
Alyssa Malfatti

 

At times golf can be considered an individual sport. But not for this Cal State Monterey Bay (CSUMB) golf team. Through the leadership of the older players this team has come together with great fashion. With this cohesion the team has not finished outside of the top five the entire year. Along with all their other accomplishment this year’s team has been ranked fourth in the nation.

OR Reporter Does Mud Run
Kari Hatfield

“Get down and give me 15! Keep your butt down! Don’t stop running! Are you giving up?” As if running uphill in sand and getting drenched in mud was not enough, Drill Sergeants shouted words of motivation throughout the 5.6 mile run through Fort Ord. Some were encouraging and others were demanding, but it aligned well with the rest of the Big Sur Mud Run.

Q & A Otter Women’s Golf Otter
Jackie Garcia

 

1. What should the top priorities of a college athlete be? The top priorities of a student- athlete should be just that: studies and athletics. Of course family and friends are important, but all student-athletes make a commitment to the school and their team. Being a great student-athlete is all about time management and knowing how to balance school and sports.

Sports Brawls Unnecessary, Controversial
Maritza Bautista

 

It was the ninth inning of the World Baseball Classic and Canada was leading over Mexico. Mexico’s pitcher Arnold Leon threw the first two pitches and missed. On the third pitch, the batter, Rene Tosoni from Canada was hit with the ball. The hit led to a confrontation between the batter and pitcher and ultimately led to both teams huddling and, well, just going at it.

Sailing Towards the Finish Line
Alyssa Malfatti

 

Water sports are typically for summer fun. However, these colligate athletes are in the water almost year round. From four to five hours of practice four times a week, members of the Cal State Monterey Bay (CSUMB) sailing club are windblown, cold and tired. However, just as any sport, they are enthused to be a part of this unique sport.

In between soccer, working, and getting her degree in Kinesiology, Thompson still has a sense of humor and a smile on her face.
