Merry Christmas! It’s been awhile since I’ve had time to update the website, but here we are now. With the 2012 Fall Season wrapped up, I thought it would be good to produce a write up.
Eric, the team and I have been really busy this semester. I’m really satisfied with what we’ve managed to accomplish. Here’s a quick overview.
Competition (two matches):
- Columbia (Home) - Men’s (7-2), Women’s (8-1), Mixed (10-3)
- NYU (Away) - Men’s (4-5), Women’s (1-8), Mixed (6-7)
- This puts us at a record of (1-1). We’re either first or second in our region still. NYU has yet to submit their match results.
Team:
- 21 new team (awesome!) members
- 11 men, 10 women
- 13 regular players, 8 alternate players

- New team practice sessions
Equipment and Spending:
