COLLEGES

Diet Pepsi. With caffeine.

(That’s for those of you who read my column this morning in the newspaper. If you read it online in the post below, you already knew that.)

I wonder how many other people drink that in the morning?

I don’t believe Kelcey Cavan does. At least it didn’t come up in Jim Meehan’s profile of the North Idaho College fastpitch pitcher in today’s paper. The Cardinals are headed to nationals and Cavan is headed to the University of Washington.

• The Cougars were battered around yesterday by the University of Portland, losing 16-9 in a nonconference baseball game.

• Former GU basketball coach Dan Monson’s hiring at Long Beach State was considered the university’s No. 2 sports story of the year by the school newspaper.
