Up-Tempo Point Guard Tre Campbell Commits to Georgetown

It looks like there will be an heir to Markel Starks’ throne after all.

Tre Campbell, a junior point guard from local St. John’s High School, verbally committed to the Hoyas on Wednesday night following an offer from Head Coach John Thompson III last week.

Although currently ranked just 121st overall in the Class of 2014, Campbell also received offers from a host of other quality programs — including Maryland, Pittsburgh, Virginia Commonwealth and Xavier — and fills a necessary void for a program that going into 2013-14 will feature just one pure floor general on its roster.

Campbell marks the second recruit in the 2014 class for JT III, who previously received a verbal from 6-foot-9 forward Isaac Copeland in early March.

The most recent commitment on Wednesday was made public via Campbell’s personal Twitter account, with a tweet at 9:25 p.m. reading simply, “I have officially Committed to Georgetown University.”

Georgetown releases rendering of new athletic center

Last week, Georgetown released an animated video rendering of the proposed Intercollegiate Athletic Center. The IAC — which will be built adjacent to McDonough Arena, in the space currently occupied by the tennis courts — will include new locker rooms, practice courts and meeting areas for Georgetown student-athletes.

“The Intercollegiate Athletics Center is essential to assuring the continued competitiveness of Georgetown’s athletics program,” Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Lee Reed told guhoyas.com in February. “Opening the IAC will benefit every athlete and program at Georgetown well into the future.”

The University’s fundraising aim for the athletics facility is $60 million.

DOLPHINS SIGN LB MCCABE AS FREE AGENT

Two days after the NFL draft, Georgetown senior linebacker Robert McCabe earned his own call to the professional football ranks Monday, signing as a free agent for the Miami Dolphins. McCabe, the Hoya defense’s unquestioned leader and standout, will receive an opportunity to become just the second Georgetown player in the modern era to play in the NFL, joining 2003 alumnus Alex Buzbee, who made the Washington Redskins’ roster in 2007.

Despite the Blue and Gray’s paltry 5-6 record and 2-3 mark in the Patriot League in the 2012 season, McCabe excelled in his senior year, posting 159 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks en route to being named the Patriot League defensive player of the year and a finalist for the Football Championship Series national defensive player of the year. His All-American performance put NFL scouts on watch, prompting Miami to sign him as one of four FCS players given a tryout for the team. Although the deal was announced Monday, McCabe said that he actually signed on Saturday.

Weekend Preview: Regular Season Finales for Lacrosse Teams

Baseball

Georgetown’s baseball team (22-15, 5-7 Big East) travels to Louisville this weekend for a key Big East matchup. Last weekend, the Blue and Gray dropped two of three at Seton Hall, so this series is important if the Hoyas hope to turn around their recent road struggles. Against the Pirates, GU gave up 20 runs in just two games, but five innings of scoreless pitching from freshman Matt Smith on Sunday helped the team avoid a sweep. Look for junior right fielder Christian Venditti and senior center fielder Justin Leeson to step up at the plate this weekend as the team tries supply some much-needed offense.

Softball

Georgetown’s softball team (19-28, 8-8 Big East) will accompany the baseball team to Kentucky this weekend as they look to move above .500 in the conference against softball powerhouse Louisville. Despite solid run production and strong pitching, the Hoyas won only one of its games last weekend at Big East opponent Providence, so a series win this weekend would give the Hoyas a huge momentum boost with the conference tournament nearing.

Three Stars: McKinney and Corcoran Lead Lacrosse Teams

Shikara Lowe – Softball

The senior captain had five RBIs and three runs in a weekend series against Providence College.  In the second game of the weekend, Lowe hit a three-run home run — her fourth of the season — in the fifth inning to put the Hoyas up 5-1 in an eventual 7-5 win.  In the rubber match on Sunday, the senior scored in the second inning after leading off with a double and then scored another run after drawing a walk in the fifth inning in the 6-5 defeat. Georgetown currently sits in fifth place in the Big East with six conference games remaining in the regular season.

Three Stars: Hyson and Vander Linden Shine on the Diamond for the Hoyas

Megan Hyson – Softball

The sophomore pitched a two-hitter en route to a Hoya win over Big East rival Syracuse on Saturday. After giving up a homerun in the first inning, Hyson held the Orange hitless for five consecutive innings, giving up only a single in the seventh before earning a complete game win. The sophomore fanned 10 batters, her second most of the season, in the 5-1 victory. In the Blue and Gray’s win earlier in the day, Hyson had a key two RBI double after an 11-pitch at bat.  Georgetown took the overall series, defeating Syracuse in two out of three games.
