Drexel vs. Princeton vs. Rutgers

A couple of weeks ago the Drexel Badminton crew took a swell trip over to Princeton New Jersey for a friendly match.  Undoubtedly, the Drexel team performed amazingly well and took down both Princeton and Rutgers.

Thanks to Princeton for hosting and thanks to the nearby Wawa for serving delicious mac'n'cheese to me.

Tri-meet with Rutgers and Princeton

Still chugging along on that one-post-per-week train.

This past Saturday, April 18th, 2009, Drexel Badminton headed to Rutgers University up in New Brunswick, NJ for a tri-meet against the host and Princeton University. If I were smart, I would have taken pictures of their beautiful campus, but for now, you'll have to take my word for it. There were students, real live human beings, on campus during the weekend enjoying outdoor activities and having loads of fun. Drexel... dream on.

Anyway, here are the results of our badminton matches:

Men's Team
Drexel vs. Rutgers: 9-0
Drexel vs. Princeton: 9-0

Women's Team
Drexel vs. Rutgers: 6-3
Drexel vs. Princeton: 3-6

Mixed Team
Drexel vs. Rutgers: 3-2

An impressive clean sweep from Drexel's men's team against our competitors. I fell on my goods during my singles match but it was clearly worth it.

Congratulations to Drexel and thank you to Rutgers and Princeton for a fantastic afternoon, especially to Rutgers for hosting us.

Quad-meet with Bryn Mawr, UPenn, and NYU

Hello, friends.

Since the number of courts at Drexel is pitiful, we met at Bryn Mawr College on Saturday, February 28th, 2009 to conduct an IBA quad-meet. Drexel played against New York University's badminton team. They had legitimate jerseys. Serious business.

I don't have the results of our individual matches.
Just know this: Drexel defeated NYU 5-4.

We are the IBA champions of the east coast, supposedly.

Some photos are here. Bui Wonder bogarted my camera and took some of the shots toward the latter half of the day. Pz.

Results of IBA Matches against UPenn

One post a week is pretty good, innit? No? Well, I'm trying.

The Drexel Badminton team squared off against UPenn for friendly IBA matches last week. We hosted UPenn's women's team on Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at the DAC. Thursday, February 5th, 2009 saw the men's team at Hutchinson Gym on UPenn's campus.

Anna convincingly faked a career-ending leg injury while Yehan, a newly-joined team member fresh from Sri Lanka, dominated his matches with aplomb.

The results:
Drexel vs. UPenn [Women's]: 4-5
Drexel vs. UPenn [Men's]: 5-4
Drexel vs. UPenn [Mixed]: 3-2

Too close for comfort, but Drexel edged out to become the winner of this exciting bout. Well played, all.

Edit: Here's a straight copy/paste job from Mindy Lee of UPenn with the results of each match. If you have any problems with it, I don't wanna hear it. Thanks.
