Blunder of the Week w _ Ng II This week's blunder goes to Kate Sand '92 of the women's ice hockey team for tripping on open ice. This occurred at the Wesleyan game while the announcer was calling the starting lineup. Sand hopped onto the ice after goalie Allison Mackay G, tripped, and man- aged to somehow pull Mackay down with her. The two of them ended up lying on the ice with not a soul around them. It was a great way to start a game.
