On the eve of the Bengal Bout semifinals, roughly a dozen members of the Notre Dame Boxing Club were scattered across the workout room in the basement of the Joyce Center.

Clay "The Mouth of the South" Cosse faces Mark "The Holy Ghost" Yost in the semifinals, and judging from their quarterfinal victories, technique should come into play. Both fighters picked their spots and looked to score with jabs in the quarterfinals. Cosse had an easier time with his opponent, scoring a standing eight and winning by unanimous decision against Mike MacRitchie. Yost won by split decision over Matthew Klobucher in a fairly even fight.

- BENGAL BOUTS: Brawler looking to punch out victory (By BRIAN BURKE Sports Writer)
Brock "Landers" Heckmann is a leader when it comes to the Notre Dame boxing team. And he will gladly yield to fellow senior captains Mark Criniti and Matt Fumagalli when it comes to teaching the finer points of technique. While the latter two are pure boxers, Heckmann will stand toe to toe and out-punch his opponent. As such, he sees his niche as a Bengal Bouts captain as that of motivator.

- D.H. Memoirs (V. Van Buren Giles News Copy Editor)
The dining halls at this University are a social blender. After seeing each other in the classroom, at the athletic facilities, in church, and walking through the quad, the cafeteria is the one place where we learn most about each other. You can find out what a person eats, how much of it they consume, who they're friends with, and whether they sit in a noticeable area, or in one of the more lonely, single tables to the side.
