Men’s soccer loses close match in Peach Belt

By Matthew Osterhouse | gargoyle@flagler.edu

The Flagler College Saints (7-4-1, 4-1-0 PBC) lost to the Lander University Bearcats (5-4-1, 2-0-1 PBC) 1-0 on Saturday night, ending the Saints’ six-match winning streak and receiving their first Peach Belt Conference loss.
The Saints outshot the Bearcats 16-9, had more possession and better scoring chances, but could not finish in front of the goal.

The game was tense from the start. Lander, the preseason favorite to win the conference, disrupted Flagler’s possession play early and forced long balls as the teams probed for chances to score.

CD Review: Daisy Brand New

By Charlie Manno | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Excited does not begin to describe how I felt as I held the new Brand New album in my hands. Completely beside myself with pure joy? Yeah, that’s a little closer. The point is, I’d been waiting for Daisy ever since the last note of The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me finished its last echo around my skull. I sit back before I tear off the cellophane wrapping the CD case and marvel at the maturation of Brand New as a band.

New restaurant Tokyo Thai pulled Flagler students Adrienne Sutton and Ellen Gambrell away from their usual sushi haunt, at least for one night. Located on Anastasia Island in the Publix shopping center, the restaurant’s menu describes it as a Thai and Japanese sushi and grill. There to compare it to favorite Fusion, senior Sutton and junior Gambrell junior ignored the Thai and grill descriptions.
