PA State Open 2009 Results

A little behind on my posts, but, as always, it’s worth the wait.

Who am I kidding…

Your Drexel Badminton team traveled to Reading, PA on Saturday, March 7th, 2009 for the 2009 PA State Open. It’s hosted by John Lim of Albright College, brother of our club’s academic advisor, Dr. Teck-Kah Lim.

This year, Drexel made a definitive statement by taking home the Collegiate Team trophy. With a 23-point margin over 2^nd place Swarthmore College, Drexel was declared the 2009 PA State Open’s Collegiate Team Champion.

Here are some Drexel team highlights:

• Yehan Ranasinghe – Division A – Men’s Singles – Runner-up
