Freshman Dani Vivonetto scored three goals for the Navy women's lacrosse team, but they weren't enough as the Midshipmen fell to visiting Colgate, 10-4. The Raiders outscored Navy 6-1 in the first half and used stifling defense to maintain the lead. Erin Rawlick (C. Milton Wright) extended her scoring streak to 26 games with a second-quarter goal for the Mids (6-3, 2-1 Patriot League), who lost their second straight. Colgate (9-3, 3-0) has won seven of eight. "We have a lot of respect for Colgate," Navy coach Cindy Timchal said.

Tonight marks an anniversary the Navy men's basketball team would just as soon forget. It was March 4, 2001, that the Midshipmen last won a basketball playoff game. Seven times since, they have exited early from the Patriot League tournament. Navy (19-10) hopes to end that streak tonight against Colgate in the quarterfinals at Alumni Hall (7 p.m.). Navy is one of three Division I teams in the state, not counting Maryland, expected to have a legitimate chance to win an NCAA tournament berth.

The prospect of an NCAA tournament final has taken a back seat to another type of final for the Colgate and Canisius men's lacrosse teams. Players of both programs have been wrapping up a week of exams, and after hours of studying, memorizing and writing, the idea of ridding their angst and stress in an NCAA tournament first-round game sounds awfully appetizing. "It's exam week here at Colgate, so everyone's nerves are already high," said Raiders junior defenseman Andrew Watkins, a Timonium native and Gilman graduate.

HAMILTON, N.Y. -- The Navy men's basketball team entered this snowy town on a six-game winning streak and tied for the Patriot League lead. No. 7 would have clinched the Patriot League regular-season title and home-court advantage in the conference tournament. But yesterday's 73-62 loss to Colgate - coupled with American's victory over Lafayette - means the Midshipmen (16-13, 9-5) will enter the tournament as the No. 2 seed. "I felt we played a great game," Navy coach Billy Lange said.

Hamilton, N.Y. -- Before the 2007 season, Towson and Colgate played eight times. Eight times, Towson fell short. On a rainy afternoon in front of 5,227 at Andy Kerr Stadium, the ninth time was no charm, as the uneven Tigers (3-5, 1-4 Colonial Athletic Association) fell, 27-17, to their out-of-conference rivals. With quarterback Sean Schaefer's two first-half interceptions, Towson was unable to spark an effective passing attack, and it was left to the tailback tandem of Nick Williams and Rasheed McClaude to carry the load.

Discount stores in Maryland and three other states sold toothpaste falsely packaged as Colgate and spiked with a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze, federal health officials said yesterday. The Food and Drug Administration is investigating who laced the toothpaste with diethylene glycol, which FDA inspectors first discovered last week in a tube on the shelf of a Silver Spring discount store. The Colgate-Palmolive Co. warned consumers to beware of counterfeits and is helping recall the tainted products.

It took Navy a little while to get Colgate under wraps yesterday, but in the end, the Midshipmen easily extended their stranglehold on the Patriot League and paved the way to another NCAA tournament appearance. Sparked by junior attackman Nick Mirabito's career-high four goals, No. 9 Navy out-classed the Raiders over the final three quarters of the league's tournament title game and rolled to a 15-9 victory before 1,901 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The win gives Navy (11-3) an automatic bid to its fourth consecutive NCAA tournament.

From the opening minutes of yesterday's rematch with Colgate, it was obvious that the Navy men's lacrosse team was not going to let it happen again. A year after suffering its first loss to its Patriot League rival, the fifth-ranked Midshipmen dispatched the Raiders with ease at chilly Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Led by senior midfielder William Wallace and freshman midfielder Basil Daratsos, Navy scored the game's first six goals, then cruised to a 15-10 victory. Navy (7-0, 4-0)

Tom and Kate Chappell left corporate jobs in Philadelphia in 1968 to move to the woods of Kennebunk, Maine, where they made their own soap and other natural care products. Their enterprise evolved into Tom's of Maine, a natural products company the couple started in 1970 that grew into, among other things, the nation's largest producer of natural toothpaste. The company reveled in thumbing its nose at much larger competitors that used additives in their toothpaste. But this week, Tom's crossed enemy lines, so to speak, when it announced its sale to toothpaste giant Colgate-Palmolive Co. for $100 million.
