Last Thursday night the Seattle Redhawks met a UAF women's basketball team that is searching for the remedies to a disappointing season. After a promising start in November, the Nanooks are 1-13 in their last 14 games, including a 68-60 loss to the Redhawks in January. But the ‘Nooks haven't given up, and this time the results were different. UAF Theater presents Winter Shorts Some of the best theater at UAF is the student directed and produced Winter Shorts.
