The UAF campus generates a staggering amount of discarded paper, cans and left-over food. Can the Commons going trayless help?

When hockey coach Doc DelCastillo resigned two weeks ago, much of the Fairbanks community was shocked. DelCastillo only had charge of the Nanooks for one season.

It was definitely a great place to be on his birthday, and an even greater place to end his collegiate skiing career. Marius Korthauer spent part of his 24th birthday atop the podium at the NCAA skiing championships. He had taken the second tier two days earlier, and last year. But on Mar. 7, he was on top.

Last weekend the Nanooks hoisted the NCAA Rifle championship trophy inot the air; that’s not so unusual. Alaska’s shooters did so in 2006 and 2007, and have 10 championships overall.

Fairbanks paid tribute to the Alaska Nanook hockey seniors this weekend in what may have been their last home series ever. The Nanooks suffered a 2-1 loss to Notre Dame on Friday and scrapped back for a 1-1 tie in overtime on Saturday.

The Nanooks faced the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame this weekend at the Carlson Center, ending their regular-season home games with a 2-1 loss and a 1-1 tie after overtime.

Despite a 25-point effort from Mladen Begojevic and cycling in players to keep them fresh, fatigue got the best of the men’s basketball team in Saturday’s 67-53 loss against in-state rivals, the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves.

Women's B-ball loses and hockey gets split at Bowling Green

Racing Olympians is everyday business for skiers

This weekend’s sweep of the Western Michigan Broncos was a long time coming for the Nanooks’ hockey team. The last time the team swept an opponent was in October of 2006, with two wins over Ferris State.

Despite the high hopes for an electrifying game against the rival UAA Seawolves on Saturday at the Patty Center, the Nanooks’ women’s basketball got off to a dismal start going into the locker room down 35-9 at the half.

Over break, the Nanook ski team faced off against some of the toughest competition ever. Not only did they face off against collegiate skiing’s greatest, but against the country’s best skiers, including Olympians and other members of the U.S. National team

Nine goals against the Nanooks this weekend put them down twice by the number-two ranked team in the nation, the Miami RedHawks. In December, the Nanooks shut out the then-No. 1 ranked team in the RedHawks’ home arena in Oxford, Ohio

Athletic Department taps student fees, cuts schedules as Nanook coaches, players deal with effects of half-million-dollar deficit

Overall, this weekend was sucessful for the Nanooks. The hockey team split two games against the No. 1 ranked team in the nation; the women’s basketball team won at home and their first of three games in Hawaii; the ski team claimed the Alaska Nordic Cup to Fairbanks for the second straight year; and the swim team earned their first win of the third era. The men’s basketball team lost at UC-Irvine.
