As the academic year comes to
a close, so does the intramural
season. This year, IM Director
Rob Wittman created three
categories for team competition;
fraternities, independent, and
residence halls.
After competing in a wide
variety of events, the champions
have been crowned. Each team
had the chance to receive points
for participation as well as
winning.
While the independent
champions won most of the
sports and the fraternity champs
advanced far in many events, the
residence hall victors won only
one sport (tennis doubles), but
their participation carried them to
victory.

each added two RBl's. Varassa

The Lions travel to Grove
City today and to Gannon
tomorrow. The Lions close out
their regular season this
Saturday against Hilbert
College.
"We should win all six games
this week," said Benim.
The Lions won't find out their
post-season plans until May 9th
when NCAA and ECAC bids
come out.
Lion Notes: Bradley can set
other school records before the
season is out. With six more
RBl's, she would set both season
and career records in these
categories. Three more doubles
would give her the record in that
category also.

The Gangsters of Love locked
up the independent title by
winning everything from cross
country to volleyball, and most
recently by defeating Delta Chi in
the modified softball title game,
9-3. They also outdistanced their
nearest competitors, the Nasty
Buckeyes.
Their tenacious play is
epitimized by IM rep, Bill
Weimer, the defending male
intramural athlete of the year. He
not only played tough for the
Gangsters, but also played for
numerous coed champions.
The fraternitiy race came down
to the final week with Tau Kappa
Epsilon in the lead only 71
points in front of Delta Chi.
Delta Chi needed strong
performances from their softball
and soccer teams, as well as
having many people advance in
the season and are combined II
for 11 in stolen base attempts.
The Lions are fielding at a .943
clip as they've made only 37
errors in 650 total chances.
If the Lions win at least three
more games, they'll tie the
school record for wins. The record
was set during last season's 22-6,
ECAC championship year.

They succeeded in every
aspect by being runners-up in
softball, getting a strong
performance from their Delta Chi
1 team in soccer, and getting
semifinalists in singles and
doubles of badminton.
This late surge of points helped
to turn the tide as Delta Chi
replaces TKE as the fraternity
intramural champions.
Although the semifinal
modified softball win over TKE
clinched the victory, IM rep Jeff
Pirello believes that ping-pong
was a "great momentum swing
that put us in a position to win."
Pirello also notes that they
received 140 points from
swimming, an event which they
didn't even participate in last
year.
Asked why they won this
year's title over the defending
champs, Pirello said that Delta
Chi improved, "as a team, not
just in some sports."
The final IM title was awarded
in the residence hall category.
Unlike independent teams,
residence hall teams can only use
those people who live on the
Maelstrom
floor as players. This makes
recruiting and specialization
obsolete.
When the spring semester
began, it seemed that this race
would be between two Lawrence
Hall teams, 3rd floor (518 points)
and Ist east (513 points). This
would not be the case as the
Perry Peckers came out of
nowhere by winning street
hockey.
Just as the Peckers made their
charge, Lawrence Ist east pulled
away by picking up 320 points
in ping-pong. Even though no
member of the floor went past
the second round, the fact that
they had 15 players made the
difference.
For Ist east, participating in
the sports and having fun were
the main objectives, while the
hall title was a "nice surprise."
Becoming champs was not
cheap, as is evident by Ist east's
$419 team bill. This worked out
to roughly $l9 per member for
both semesters. Not too bad of a
price for bragging rights, T
shirts, and a plaque recognizing
the champs.
Speaking of awards, the
Good Luck on
your Finals!

fraternity champs will receive a
trophy to put in their house.
Meanwhile, the Gangsters
have their names engraved on a
plaque and all 35 members will
receive T-shirts.
Team awards were not the only
intramural contests going on this
year. Tom Fledderman and Becky
Durkin won the Intramural Male
and Female Athlete of the Year
awards, respectively. Fledderman
was a member of the independent
runners-up Nasty Buckeyes.
Durkin was an avid participant in
bowling and softball.
As for next year, Wittman
hopes now that people have seen
how much fun intramural teams
are, this year's record
participation will be surpassed
next year.
All three of this year's
categories will be open next year,
as well as the less participated in
sorority and women's teams.
The Gangsters of Love, Delta
Chi, and Lawrence Ist east will
all have a tough time defending
their titles in the 1993-94
intramural year.
