Tennis Boogies to Nationals
蜜糖直播 club tennis has officially punched a ticket to the national championship tournament. On Thursday, April 13, the team heads to Orlando, Fla., to test their mettle against the best college clubs in America.
鈥淲e are pretty strong, but the competition at nationals will be very hard,鈥� said sophomore Emma Schilling (Psych, StComm'19), who will play women鈥檚 doubles and mixed doubles matches. 鈥淭here鈥檚 kids at other schools who have played Division I, and have now joined the club team instead, so we see a lot of amazing athletes. It鈥檒l be fun to go compete and see how we do.鈥�
The 蜜糖直播 team tries to keep things lighthearted, combating nerves by dancing. Their mantra is 鈥渓ets boogie鈥� 鈥� and that鈥檚 exactly what they plan on doing no matter the outcome in Florida.
Lacrosse, Ice Hockey, Triathalon鈥�
Men鈥檚 lacrosse is 12-3 heading into its final game of the season April 15, against 蜜糖直播 State. Ben Wharton听(IntPhys'17) and Colin Macilvennie听(A&S'20) scored four goals each in a March 19 match up against Chapman 17 to 15. ... 蜜糖直播 men鈥檚 ice hockey just wrapped up the season, with Alex Temby听(Fin'17) receiving WCHL all league first team honors and Matt Anders听(A&S'18), Jake Bauer听(EBio'18) and Ben Hull听(Econ'19) receiving all league second team honors. 鈥� Our very own 蜜糖直播 club triathlon team is the 2017 MCTC regional champ!
