            <title>Blair on Cuesta win over Oxnard</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>The Cuesta College men's basketball team took over sole possession over first place in the WSC North with a 96-72 win over visiting Oxnard Saturday night in San Luis Obispo. </p>

<p>Roger Guardia scored a game-high 34 points, including 29 points after halftime, for Cuesta (22-5, 8-1).</p>

<p>Oxnard led the game by 13 points in the first half and 37-32 at the half, but Condors star James Ennis was ejected in the second half.</p>

<p>"This was a strange game of blowout runs for both teams," Cuesta head coach Rusty Blair told the San Luis Obispo Tribune. "But we spurted ahead in the second half."</p>

<p>The roundup of the game can be found <a href="http://www.sanluisobispo.com/sports/story/1019358.html">here</a>. </p>]]></description>

            <title>Beanpot Warrior</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations to Thousand Oaks native and Westlake High graduate Max Nicastro, who made his debut in the Beanpot ice hockey tournament Monday night at the TD Garden in Boston. </p>

<p>Nicastro logged plenty of ice time as a defenseman for defending national champion Boston University, who defeated Northeastern 2-1 on a third period goal by fellow freshman Alex Chiasson.</p>

<p>Nicastro (No. 7) can be seen about to clear the puck in the front of goalie Kieran Milan in <a href="http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2010/02/01/9__1265082150_7961.jpg">this Boston Globe photo</a>. </p>

<p>Nicastro and the Terriers will face Boston College, 6-0 winners over Harvard, in Monday's Beanpot final. The two teams, who contest one of college hockey's noteable rivalries, have combined to win the past two national titles and faced off at Fenway Park last month, a week after the Bruins and Flyers played in the Winter Classic.</p>

<p>BU won 3-2 at Fenway Park (Nicastro was a plus 1) and 5-4 in overtime last week at BC's Conte Forum (Nicastro was a plus 2) in Hockey East play.</p>

<p>Nicastro is a draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings.</p>]]></description>
