WMUC Sports Radio Hosts- Joe Foley



 Joe Malandruccolo IV, left, and Jordan Burt, right, are sophomore broadcast journalism majors who have a passion for sports and radio. They are the hosts of "Charm City vs. The Big Apple", their sports talk show that airs every Monday from 2-3 p.m on WMUC Radio. Both hope to continue a career in sports media after their time at the University of Maryland.


Both Malandruccolo and Burt had separate shows last year at WMUC Sports as freshmen. This year they've joined forces, covering everything ranging from the MLB and NFL to NASCAR.



Burt adds his opinion during a segment on the upcoming World Series. Both picked the New York Mets to win the MLB Championship over the Kansas City Royals. 


Malandruccolo voices his thoughts on some of the past week's College Football games. Joe admitted he gets excited and likes to include hand gestures while talking, sometimes even slapping the table. 


You can see the dynamic of personalities between Jordan and Joe that gives the show its name. Burt, a Baltimore sports fan, represents the charm of his city. On the other hand, the New York native Malandruccolo likes to tell it how it is.

Griffith was hit by a rock in the eye at a young age, it scratched his eyeball and scarred his cornea.

Despite the injury, Griffith played Tennis and Volleyball in high school, and he joined the Club Tennis team this year.

Griffith said his secret is tracking the ball as long as he possibly can, "the phrase, eye on the ball, is especially useful for me."

Portrait photos of Lorah - Chelsea Hanson

Lorah Norman, a senior, Family Science major, crochets "cozies" and sells them to raise money for the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

Norman sells each "cozy" for $5 and donates 100 percent of the proceeds to www.endhomelessness.org.

She has also added crocheted scarfs to her website, crochetawayhomelessness.weebly.com. She plans to donate all of the proceeds from those sales as well.

Norman has attracted a majority of her customers at IFC tailgates, where she shows off her "cozies." Her Maryland and USA colors are the most popular, however, customers can request colors of their choice.


It takes about 45 minutes for Norman to crochet a "cozy." She offers two styles, one for a bottle and one for a can.

Linnea Gonzales - Maryland Field Hockey



Linnea Gonzales, a freshman forward for the Maryland Field Hockey team from Bel Air, Md. 

 

She has great forehand and backhand (as shown here) shots 
that she is able to get off quickly.


Linnea has some of the quickest hands on the team, which she uses to 
dodge defenders in the offensive half of the field.


 Linnea showed off some of her stick-tricks. This is one of the most basic - 
simply balancing the ball on the face of the stick.


Linnea hopes the team's success continues as they move closer to post-season play.
