"The days of expecting 0-10 teams are over. We should be proud of who we are."
In their last regular season home game of the season, the Yeowomen look to upset the second place Battling Bishops.
Oberlin vs. Ohio Wesleyan
Saturday, 2 p.m.
Massanet is a Conservatory senior from Cordoba, Argentina. In order to add a touch of international flavor to the section, we asked Mateo to talk a little bit about himself and, of course, sports.
You play sports, right?
Could you tell us a little about your athletic surroundings growing up?
But those aren't sports.
You really are from Argentina.
Who is better, Pele or Maradona?
What?
Hmm...let's move on. So do you like the U.S.?
You hate the coffee.
I see...what do you like?
Are you coming on to me?
On what?
Let's move on because this part of the interview isn't really funny. Back to sports...do you have a favorite athlete?
Mateo, I didn't mean to upset you. Could you be a bit more verbose?
Could you elaborate?
I'm going to ask you one last thing. Did you like Evita?
Thank you, Mateo.

IN THE LOCKERROOM WITH...Mateo Massanet
Yes, Glenn. Yes, I do.
I played barefoot soccer until I left for Oberlin. The sun was always shining in Argentina - that's where I'm from - and we would play until our feet were purple. I also play ping-pong, backgammon and clarinet.
Yes, they are, Glenn. Yes, they are. Sports don't always entail running and jumping.
The country of gold.
Vos, ignorante hijo de puta.
You ignorant son of a bitch.
I hate the coffee.
I hate the coffee.
A walk on the beach.
That depends.
On your personality.
No.
Verbose?
Nope.
That's hard to answer. I hate it so much that I love it.
De nada.
