Daily Digits

316 - Rushing yards for the New York Jets in their 38-0 rout of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Starter Thomas Jones chipped in with 122 yards and rookie Shonn Greene added 141 of his own, as Gang Green became the second team to torch Oakland's NFL-worst run defense for at least 300 yards on the ground in as many weeks.

7 - Shutouts by senior goalkeeper Kate Minnehan, who leads all NESCAC netminders in that category. Minnehan's stellar play between the pipes has been vital to lifting the women's soccer team to its 7-5-1 record and fourth-place spot in the conference standings, as all the Jumbos' wins have come in games in which they have not allowed a goal.

38 - Walks surrendered by Los Angeles Angels pitching in the ALCS, for an abysmal average of 6.33 per game. The Halos coughed up nine free passes in Sunday's Game 6, and four of them directly resulted in Yankees runs, handing New York a 5-2 victory that sent the Yankees to the World Series, which starts tomorrow.

1.7 - Yards per rushing attempt for the football team in its 30-7 loss to Williams on Saturday. The Ephs' defensive front kept Tufts quarterback Tom McManama and running back Pat Bailey at bay throughout the afternoon, stopping the offense behind the line of scrimmage on numerous occasions.

21 - Points for Los Angeles Kings' center Anze Kopitar, who leads the NHL with 10 goals and is second with 11 assists. Kopitar, the first Slovenian native to play in the NHL, compiled just 66 points in 82 games last season, but he already has 21 in just a dozen contests this year.

365 - Kills by the women's volleyball team in NESCAC play this season. The Jumbos are tops in the conference with 13.52 kills per game, and juniors Caitlin Updike and Dawson Joyce-Mendive — ranked second and third in the NESCAC in kills — have led the way. The Jumbos' ability to put away points has been a key asset to them all season.
