What is there to do in Rohnert Park Calif.? This is a common question that is asked when non-locals visit the area and quite frankly there isn’t much. It is always a bit embarrassing to reply back with the same few things that constantly include Scandia or the local movie theater. A reason why Rohnert Park is so low on things to do is due to the lack of a true “downtown” area in the city. The city of Rohnert Park is beautiful but the absence of a downtown is leaving residents with a desire for more and is hurting the city’s overall popularity and growth. In recent news though, there does seem to be a glimmer of hope down a long tunnel as the city bought a 30-acre lot last year with the plans of it eventually becoming the long-awaited downtown. 

Once upon a time in Sonoma State history there was a NCAC (Northern California Athletic Conference) Football Championship team. In 1991, the Sonoma State Cossacks went on to defeat the University of California, Davis 23-12 in the final to win the program’s only championship.

This past weekend was a successful and special one for the SSU baseball team as they swept Cal State San Bernardino and clinched a spot in the CCAA(California Collegiate Athletic Association) tournament.

Multiple Sonoma State athletes’ shined this past week as three different athletes were named player of the week in their respective sport. The first two are softball players Jesse Dupuis and Anna Zoia-Buescher. Dupuis won CCAA(California Collegiate Athletic Association) Pitcher of the week for April 19-24, her second time receiving the award this month.

The Seawolves won three out of the four games and extended their series win streak to three in a row. This past weekend put the team at 16-16 in conference play as they made their final push towards the playoffs.

The tournament was held at Yocha Dehe Golf Club in Brooks, Calif from April 11 to April 13 and saw the Seawolves be crowned champions for the first time since 2009.

The Seawolves winning the series has put them to 10-14 in conference play and one spot out of the playoffs with a little more than a month left in the season.

Sonoma State’s men's golf team had a historic showing this past week at the Hanny Invitational that is hosted by Stanislaus State in Turlock, Calif.
