Persichino back in the game
After missing last season due to back problems, Carleton Ravens men’s soccer captain Nick Persichino is back in the game.
The fifth-year business major has helped the Ravens get off to a quick 2-0 start in their 2010-2011 campaign.
When the Ravens opened the season with a 2-0 victory against the Queen’s Golden Gaels Sept. 4, Persichino was in the lineup for the first time since his injury.
Quidditch campaign underway
Despite the rain’s constant drizzle, about 40 students turned out Sept. 12, broomsticks in hand, for Carleton’s Quidditch team’s first practice of the year.
Founder and coach Andrea Hill said over 200 people signed up for the team. Although the number of students who showed up at practice is far from the 200 on the sign-up list, it is still an improvement from last year’s 14-player squad.

Meeting the rookies: Devan Bruce
The Charlatan (TC): What is your best soccer memory so far?
Devan Bruce (DB): My best soccer memory so far has to be losing in the high school city championships this past year. The other team tied the game with 30 seconds to go and we ended up losing in a shootout.
Ravens women draw against Ottawa U
Throngs of Carleton supporters silenced the home crowd and helped the Ravens women’s soccer team secure a 1-1 draw against crosstown rivals the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees Sept. 11 at Matt Anthony Field.
Although the Ravens managed to earn a point against the fifth-ranked women’s soccer team in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) — on their own turf at that — the draw prolongs Carleton’s 16-season drought, in which the Ravens have yet to produce a win against the Gee-Gees in regular season play.
