Duke Men's Lacrosse: A New Endowed Scholarship in Honor of Jimmy Regan
Rick Vosburgh, Class of 1972, has generously endowed a scholarship in honor of Jimmy Regan. A native of Manhasset, N.Y., Regan was born in 1980 to James and Mary Regan. He graduated from Chaminade High School in Mineola, N.Y., and went on to play lacrosse and study economics at Duke. The midfielder helped guide the Blue Devils to a four-year record of 43-21 with a pair of ACC titles in 2001 and 2002 and four NCAA Tournament appearances. He was named to the 2002 ACC All-Tournament team after scoring a career-high four goals and adding an assist as Duke defeated then top-ranked Virginia, 14-13, in the championship game. Following his graduation from Duke in the spring of 2002, Regan turned down a job offer from UBS (a financial services company) and a scholarship to Southern Methodist University's law school to enlist in the Army. Surprising many of his friends and family members, he chose to enter the U.S. Army Ranger School, emailing his former teammates the explanation "This is what I have to do." Regan went on to graduate first in his class in infantry basic combat training. After completing the basic airborne course and Ranger Indoctrination program at Fort Benning in Georgia, he became a member of the 3rd Battalion. Regan served as a machine gunner, gun team leader and then fire team leader during two deployments each to Afghanistan and Iraq, as a part of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. His service in the Army was to end in February of 2008. He and his fiancée, Mary McHugh, had made plans to marry and move to Chicago upon his return to the United States, and he had hopes of becoming a social studies teacher and lacrosse coach. Regan was killed Feb. 9, 2007 in northern Iraq when an improvised explosive device (IED) targeted his vehicle. He was 26. The Army Ranger Lead the Way Fund was founded in Regan's honor by his family and friends, and continues to assist wounded and fallen Army Rangers and their families through health and wellness programs, casualty and recovery efforts, transition to civilian life and several other services. To date the Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund has given over $7 million in financial support to the families of the 75th Ranger Regiment. "Through the Lead The Way Fund, his family and friends strive to honor his spirit, his patriotism and the way he lived his life by combining our efforts to give back to his brothers, the U.S. Army Rangers," reads part of the mission statement.

Talking Hoosier Baseball - 2026 - Week 12 Northwestern
ndiana Baseball started the week by going on the road to Louisville and claiming another midweek win to finish the season an impressive 9-2 in those contests. The Hoosiers got a fantastic 5-inning scoreless start from graduate lefty Conner Linn, and the offense put up 5 runs in the third on the way to a 10-6 victory. The Hoosiers got a special treat in being the team that got to play Northwestern in the annal game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Our own Zach and Josh Bennett were on hand for that one. The Hoosiers put on a show for the mostly IU friendly crowd. Tony Neubeck tossed six scoreless frames. The top of the Hoosier order Hogan Denny, Jake Hanley, and Owen ten Oever, combined to reach base nine times. The Hoosiers dominated the game for a 9-2 win. The series shifted to suburb of Evanston on Saturday and things did not go well for the Hoosiers. At least three critical base running mistakes kept the Hoosiers from extending an early lead. Starter Brayton Thomas was excellent through two innings, but lost command in the third inning and never returned to form. He was replaced in the fourth and Indiana would give up seven runs total. Despite a 4-for-4 day from Hogan Denny and Indiana doubling Northwestern's hit total, the Hoosiers dropped the game 7-4. In the Sunday rubber match it was the early game pitching that faltered as Conner Linn was not effective on short rest and Northwestern rocked bullpen ace Gavin Seebold in the 2nd inning. Seebold would settle in and get the Hoosiers through the fifth, but the deficit proved too much and the Hoosiers dropped the series with a 9-6 loss.
