These Cats were “purrfect” again! They become the first squad to win back-to-back titles in the faculty and staff bowling league, one that started back in the fall of 2011.  Ten or so teams battle each semester for the right to claim the championship trophy.  There must be  something to hoisting that gold pin that keeps our teams coming back.

Jen Stevens, the captain of the Alley Cats, is an avid participant as are all of the faculty and staff who enjoy spending their early Friday evenings in this low-key, but exceptionally fun atmosphere.  What made last Friday especially memorable for Jen, in addition to the hard earned win over the Chemistry Department’s entry the Atom Smashers, was rolling her personal best and incidentally the league’s highest 3-game series of the year.

Baseball players have a reputation for doggedness and that is evident as they grind through their long season.  Jacob Anders too knows something about doggedness. He is the proud captain for the newest sport club in the Campus Recreation Services program.

Finding our office one day more than a year ago he outlined his love for the sport and how much it would mean to him to have a club team on our campus.  Despite hearing some of the difficulties that he would face in putting this club together, he was ready to begin.  Time did pass as he attempted to round up interest, find a facility that would provide access, and handle the other details involved, but he did not waiver.

The journey is not yet complete as the new captain has wishes to do more.  If you have an interest in joining, contact Jacob at:  cofc.baseballclub@gmail.com .

On Saturday, November 29 the women’s rugby club pitched in again this year to help with an enormous task and that is to keep our fine city beautiful.  Who knew that picking up trash could be so fun.  Jessica Rogerson, the club’s captain, and her teammates deserve our thanks!
