ESU women’s soccer honored

From left: Syrandin Deere Vester, Sammi Jo Hughes, university president Dr. Marcia G. Welsh, head coach Rob Berkowitz, council chair Pat Ros and assistant coach Meagan DeWan.

The East Stroudsburg University (ESU) women’s soccer team was recognized for its 2015 season at a recent meeting of the university’s council of trustees. The team won its second straight PSAC championship and its first-ever NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional title, earning a spot in the national quarterfinals. ESU finished the season

ranked No. 9 in the final national rankings, the best in program history. The Warriors have a record of 34 wins, 8 losses and 3 ties over the last two seasons. Head coach Rob Berkowitz has guided ESU to two of its four PSAC women’s soccer championships, which are tied for the most in the history of the conference.

Students Clean Up More than 200 students from Greeki organizations at East Stroudsburg University (ESU) joined members of the local community in a day of spring clean-up.

Members of Kappa Delta Rho, Alpha Sigma Tau and Theta Chi participated as a way to promote ESU’s Global Week activities and to provide service to the borough of East Stroudsburg.

Students opted to clean areas that are routine pathways to and from campus for

University students, faculty and staff including Analomink Street, Crystal Street, Prospect Street, Ransberry Avenue, the area near the interborough bridge and East Brown Street to University Ridge Apartments. The Eastburg Community Alliance (ECA) sponsors several clean-up days throughout the year as part of The Great American Clean Up and Keep PA Beautiful initiative.

SUDOKU!

“GrEATEr-ThAN SUdOKU”

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not givin’ you ANY numbers to start off with!! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger.

Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as with a normal Sudoku, every row, column, and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box first, then move on to the 2s and 8s, and so on).

As part of the free series Get Outdoors Poconos, hikers are invited to join a naturalist-led, 1.5-mile outing exploring part of this extensive preserve, Saturday, May 21.

Hikers will follow a rocky path to see evidence of coyotes, big slices of slate rising from the ground, huge boulders covered with moss and ferns, sheep laurel, blueberries, witch hazel and wintergreen.
