Welcome back! We’re proud to present the 16th episode of the Spectator Sportscast, a weekly offering about Columbia varsity sports.

Hosted by Spectator columnist and varsity soccer player Ronnie Shaban with fellow columnist and Spectrum daily editor Mrinal Mohanka, the SportsCast provides a succinct round-up of what happened last weekend, and what lies ahead for the Lions.

This edition includes a quick summary of the weekend’s baseball, softball, tennis, and lacrosse, and looks ahead to all the action coming up. It also features illustrious men’s tennis coach Bid Goswami as a special guest.

Goswami has been at Columbia since 1982 and has brought eight Ivy League titles to Morningside Heights. This weekend, his men’s tennis team begin a fresh attempt to win another championship.

What’s kept him at Columbia for 30 years? Who is the best player he’s coached? What has he learned through coaching or from his players? To find out the answers to all those and more, take a listen.
