This past weekend the Towson Men’s Rugby Club went 2-0 in Knoxville, Tennesee against Illinois State and UNC Wilmington. These two wins allowed the team to advance to the Final Four in Bowling Green, Ohio for the second consecutive year in a row. They will face Salisbury in their first game – one of their biggest rivals.

Good luck guys!!

“On Saturday, April 13 the Towson Skydiving Club took 14 students to Skydive Delmarva, in Laurel, Delaware to have the experience of a lifetime… skydiving! The students participated in “tandem skydiving” – where the student is harnessed to the instructor and the skydiving instructor controls the whole dive.

We arrived at 8 a.m., filled out waivers and began jumping at 9:30 a.m. Everyone jumped successfully and landed with huge smiles on their face. It’s amazing watching other people experience skydiving for the first time.. or second or third time. It’s the same thrill I experience after 146 skydives. It is the reason the skydiving club came into existence when Chelsey Anderson started it up in 2009. We love sharing the sensation of free fall and the adrenaline of leaping from an airplane with Towson students.

Chelsey actually came out in the afternoon to take a packing class and make a skydive. She is working towards her A-license. Along with Chelsey, Sam Wood, our past treasurer, came out to make a skydive as well. They loved seeing the club they worked so hard to form, out still making skydives.”

The Track & Field Club traveled to Bloomington, Indiana this past weekend to compete in the NIRCA National Track & Field Competition. This was the first time the club was able to attend the national tournament and had a great turnout against many other competetive schools – schools such as Illinois, Michigan State, Delaware, Duke, Penn State, University of Wisconsin, Princton, Villanova, Clemson, University of Pittsburgh and many others. Many of the club memebers set personal records (PR’s) and two of the members brought home medals. Alison Davis, acting captian and president of the club, was awarded 3rd place in the 100 meter dash overall and 8th place in the 200 meter dash overall. Tayo Omolana was awarded 6th place in the 100 meter dash overall while both club memebers were also honored All-Americans. All in all it was a successful trip for the club and they hope to return next year!

The Towson Women’s Ultimate Frisbee team – aka Hammertime – placed second this past weekend in the Delaware Classic! Twelve D-1 Women’s College teams, ranging from the Metro-East, Ohio Valley, and Atlantic Coast regions, met in Newark, Delaware for a sunny weekend of competetive Ultimate Frisbee. Towson Hammertime was a top seeded team in the tournament and took the first day of games against Hofstra, Boston University, Delaware B, and Rutgers in stride. Onto Sunday, Towson took on SUNY-Oneonta and was able to easily bring down the majority of 50/50 throws – gaining another win. The championship game against NYU did not end favorably for Hammertime, ending with a 12-10 loss. Despite the hard loss, Towson captain and acting coach Katie Grant, was interviewed by the representative from Ultiworld and had some words of encouragement. Grant viewed the Delaware Classic as an opportunity for Hammertime to expose new, younger handlers to various levels of competition before heading to Southerns down in Statesboro, Georgia in a few weeks. Despite loosing six top players since last spring, Hammertime performed well and showed pure athleticism throughout the tournament.

Towson University’s Ice Hockey team ended their season by winning the Eastern Collegiate Hockey Association Playoff (ECHA) Tournament in West Chester, PA this past weekend. Towson, tagged as an underdog going into the tournament, faced rivals who are ranked in the top 25 of the country in their bracket.

Towson got off to a good start on Friday by posting an impressive 8-4 victory over Lehigh University.

Towson got off to a sluggish start on Saturday against Lebanon Valley College (ranked #22 in the US & #2 seed in the tournament), but made an exciting come back – taking the game into double overtime. Freshman Matt McGuire, netted the sudden death goal to win (4-3) at nearly midnight. Junior goaltender Steve Kelly, made several key saves at important junctures of the game – including a quick pad save late in the first OT.

Sunday’s matchup against the US Naval Academy (#1 seed & #14 in the country) in the ECHA Championship was expected to be a blow out for Navy because Towson has failed to beat Navy over the past three years. Navy jumped out to an early two goal lead in the first five minutes of the first period. However, despite Navy’s early lead, Towson didn’t give up and scored nine consecutive goals. Junior Mike Cifelli, led the way for Towson, scoring five goals while assisting another three. The Tigers pulled off the seemingly impossible win, stunning Navy (9-3).

Several Towson players received awards. Steve Kelly, goaltender, was named “Tournament All Star” and made the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Second Team for his performance throughout the season. Mike Cifelli made the “All-Tournament Team” and won “Tournament MVP”, while Casey Jendras, Matt McGuire, and Joey Vonakis made the “All-Tournament MVP Team”.

This victory gave Towson their first Division I league title in 14 years!

The National College Lacrosse Leauge (NCLL) ranked Towson Men’s Club Lacrosse as #13 after the 2012 preseason. With second year Head Coach, Alex Hendricks at the healm, the Tigers are looking to get back in the Top 10. This upcoming season will be challanging for the Tigers, but they are ready to take on their competition which has been loaded with top ranked teams. Games against #1 Rutgers, #10 Hofstra, and #11 Salisbury in the first half of the season could put the Tigers back in the Top 10 with wins. It has been years since the Tigers hosted the National Championship trophy, taking place in May – Hopefully this year will be the year.
