Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has been shelled more this season by his critics than by opposing batters, and that’s a lot of shelling.
Does Schilling deserve all this criticism? Is he really only a few weeks or months away from retirement? Can he possibly return to his old status? These are just a few of the questions being asked in settings from ESPN programs to the Red Sox clubhouse about the future Hall of Famer.
The University of Maine field hockey team will play at home on Sunday. The game will be their third home game of the season. It is also their conference season opener.
The Black Bears, at 6-4, are coming off of a 3-2 overtime loss at Rhode Island. Before that the Black Bears had won two games in a row.
The University of Maine volleyball team opens America East play this weekend, kicking things off against the University of New Hampshire at 7 p.m. Friday at the Pit in Memorial Gym.
“You always feel better in your own gym, so getting to start off conference play here is really nice,” said senior co-captain Kaili Jordan.
Three years ago, they came out of nowhere.
Two years ago, they snagged a co-national championship.
Last season, they garnered another title, and that trend looks like it will continue.

Is there any other way to describe them after last week’s inspired last-second win over the Pittsburgh Steelers? They overcame a fourth-quarter deficit, devastating injuries, and a hostile Pittsburgh crowd as Adam Vinatieri nailed yet another game winner as time expired to beat the Black and Gold 23-20.
The University of Maine football team took their upset loss to Richmond a bit personally, and understandably so.
After the 26-21 defeat, the team encountered its bye week just in time, allowing the Black Bears to tweak what needed tweaking.
“This past week was the best week of football since I arrived at UMaine,” said junior receiver Arel Gordon.
Finally, it’s time to come home.
The University of Maine women’s soccer team wrapped up their eighth straight game away from Alumni Field last Friday with a 2-1 loss at Rhode Island. Sophomore Marie-Andree Canuel scored the lone goal for the Black Bears, her second of the season.

None of the important issues were discussed during the general student senate meeting on Tuesday due to lack of attendance caused by Greek Week at the University of Maine.
Greek Week is a time for fraternities and sororities to compete against one another.
