A flurry of home events await club sports
This weekend CSU is the place to be for club sports fans. Both
the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, the club cycling team and the
men’s club ultimate Frisbee team will be in action on campus.
Ultimate Frisbee will be holding the Rocky Mountain Invitational
on both Saturday and Sunday. The games will start at 9 a.m.
Saturday on the intramural fields and run until Sunday
afternoon.
The women’s varsity lacrosse team will take on the north club
team on the IM fields Saturday at 11 a.m., while the junior varsity
team will take on the north JV squad at 12:30 p.m. on the same
field. The Rams are No. 13 in the nation and have a No. 21 Power
Ranking, according to USA Club Lacrosse pollsters, going into
competition this weekend against the club team.
The CSU men’s lacrosse team, still ranked No. 1, continued its
dominance over the rest of the league over Spring Break. The Rams
went 6-0 and picked up wins against No. 4-ranked Sonoma State 10-6,
No. 11 Oregon 15 -6 and No. 12 Simon Frasier 24 -6.
In all, the Rams won their six games by a combined score of
105-30, no team scored more than six goals on them and CSU never
scored less than 10 goals in any game.
This Saturday the Rams will host the Utah Utes on the IM fields
at 1 p.m.
The CSU cycling team will host the Oval Criterium Sunday with
events beginning at 10:20 a.m. with the Men’s A-category race.
CSU’s club, named the 2003 USA Cycling Team of the Year, is geared
to prove that it deserves that title.
The Oval Criterium takes place on the CSU campus; it starts on
Oval Drive by the Weber Building.
“I think we’ll do pretty well,” said Robert Beschienen, the team
vice president.
Beschienen added that he expects “a big turn out.”
In last year’s Criterium in the men’s A-category Nick Ranno and
Dan Cherkis from CSU finished in the top five, finishing second and
fourth, respectively.
The Men’s B-category had Rubin Virgil finish fourth for CSU. The
C-category saw three Rams finish in the top five.
The women’s cycling featured Leah Trapp, the only CSU competitor
in the A-category, finishing ninth, while Erin Bisinius won the
B-category for CSU.
Nathanael Ksiazkiewicz of CSU already has a first-place finish
this year at the New Mexico Lobo Classic Criterium in February, the
same meet in which Beschienen finished 24th in time trials.
