Matches:
Drexel vs. Haverford (away) April 27, 2008
| Team 1 | ||||
| Stan Hwang | 0 | 1 | Sebastian Lara (1525) | Very good game- Stan didn't have a clue what happened. |
| Jack Mc Carney | 1 | 0 | ||
| Chase Gibson | 1 | 0 | ||
| Kyle Martin | 1 | 0 | ||
| Robert Pisch | 1 | 0 | I am fairly certain this was completely undeserved. | |
| 4 | 1 | |||
| To be honest I can't remember much about this match other than that it was away and we some how won. I think that there were two or three games that we should have lost that would have completely changed everything. I promise to update... Sorry Haverford if I have the score wrong. | ||||

The Haverford match was fun to do. I think that although we
lost it was a good experience for all
involved. I also think that it might be a good idea to look into
playing other schools. (If you are from
a Phily area school feel free to contact us.) With so many schools
so close it might be good to start
a league each team playing all the others twice, once in the fall and
once in the spring. (One home the
other away.)
