Club Roundup

The Colorado State Rams club hockey team went into Maryland with

hopes of bringing a national championship back to the students at

Colorado State.

But the Rams came up short. They won their first game 4-2 over

Central Michigan, who turned out to be a bust in the playoffs

losing all of their games. In the second game the Rams met Penn

State, the Nittany Lions scored three times in the first period to

put the game away with a 4-2 win over the Rams.

On the final day of pool play the Rams needed a win over the

Miami Hurricane and a Central Michigan upset against Penn State;

unfortunately for the Rams neither happened and Penn State went to

the finals.

Penn State got shutout 1-0 to New York University, which went on

to lose in the championship game to the Oakland Grizzlies 5-1.

Overall the Rams had a successful season with a final record

22-7.

Tennis

The CSU club tennis team made the record books this week,

joining 33 other schools to compete at the 2004 USA Team Tennis

National Campus Championships in Daytona Beach, Fla. The

championships start today and runs through Saturday. The 33 schools

are the most ever to be represented in the championships.

The tournament will be huge for the CSU tennis club team, as the

Rams will have the opportunity to face the last two champions in

2002 winner Texas A&M Aggies and the defending national

champion Florida Gators.

Lacrosse

Friday will offer a test for the CSU men’s club lacrosse team,

starting with a road trip across the Pacific Northwest that sees

them playing six games in nine days.

The Rams kick things off against the Oregon Ducks in Eugene, the

road trip concludes on the March 20 against Simon Fraser University

in Seattle, where the Rams will also play Cal State-Chico and

Washington.

The trip provides a chance for the Rams to show the country they

have a good chance to repeat as national champions.

The CSU men’s and women’s ultimate Frisbee teams Hibida and

Hell’s Belles will be in the College Southern Tournament during

Spring Break at Georgia Southern University in Savannah, Ga.

Florida State, Princeton and Tennessee all represented in Pool 2 of

the tourney. While Hell’s Belles will have to deal with Duke, North

Carolina State and Florida, among others.
