TL20070503-01 "Kiel McLaughlin Sports Editor Wednesday at Johnny Unitas Stadium, the top-seeded Tigers learned from their pre-vious encounter against the Hofstra Pride, and rolled to a 11-5 victory, en route to a meeting with Delaware in the CAA finals Saturday. In the first meeting between Towson and the Pride on April 14, the Pride scored two goals in the final minute of play to send the game into overtime. During the extra period, Hofstra attack Ryan Miller scored to give Towson their only conference loss of the season. Instead of leaving the result in doubt entering the final frame as they did two and a half weeks ago, the Tigers ran off five goals in just over seven minutes in the third quar-ter to take a commanding 6-2 lead. �We�ve played in every kind of game you can imagine,� Towson head coach Tony Seaman said. �We�ve played one-goal games. We�ve won overtime games. We�ve lost over-time games. Tonight we made it easy on the coaching staff in the fourth quarter.� Towson followed with another five-goal quarter in the fourth to seal the victory. �I�ve been here for five years and that was probably the best half of lacrosse I�ve seen us play in a long time,� Towson senior attack Bobby Griebe said. Hofstra took an early lead, scoring with five seconds to play in the first quarter to take a 2-1 advantage. Following a monoto-nous second quarter that resulted in a score-less period for both sides, the Pride carried a one-goal lead into the half. Out of the break, the Tigers exploded, scoring five goals in just under eight minutes to seize a commanding 5-2 advantage.

Sharon Leff Editor in Chief Continuous floods, infrastructure problems and uncomfortable temperature conditions plague Smith Hall, but it will be years before a major renovation is complete. A building assessment, completed in February by an outside contractor, detailed deficiencies regarding the plumbing, fire protection, electrical systems, and heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) system. The assessment lists immediate and less pressing safety issues that need to be addressed. Gerald Intemann, dean of the Jess and Mildred Fisher College of Science and Mathematics, said the building is being evaluated in multiple phases. The first phase involved the assessment, the second will include short-term and long-term solutions for the building�s problems, and the third phase will be the implementation of these solutions. �The challenge we�re facing is, we�re kind of liv-ing on borrowed time,� Intemann said. �If we reach a point where the infrastructure disintegrates so the building is no longer available to teach or do labs, we�re going to be in a whole lot of trouble.� He said the water system has periodic breakdowns, which leads to significant flooding. �The biggest problems that we�ve had in the last year or two have been floods and leaks,� Intemann said. A few weeks ago Intemann said a flood occurred on the physics, astronomy and geosciences floor.
