Cal Poly men win, women second
The Cal Poly men’s golf team used a home course advantage in cruising to a 45-stroke win at the inaugural Coast BMW-Coast Nissan Collegiate Golf Championship on Tuesday at the 6,724-yard, par-71 Monarch Dunes Golf Club in Nipomo.

The NBA, where trading happens
The NBA trade deadline has passed, and the dust is finally settling following the flurry of the latest player transactions. Here are grades for each team evaluating the trades they have made this season:
