Pierson

Ah, if only Pierson could play Winter IMs all year long! Well, superfans, the overwhelming trend in Pierson IMs is that the ugly days are over. In almost every sport, Pierson has ended its early season woes and is now moving up the intramural stairway to heaven with strength and beauty. Let's just get a glimpse of some of the highlights.

In women's volleyball, Pierson utterly annihilated the Morsels 15-0, 15-0, turning the season around completely. Sparked by the pure athleticism of Daniela "The Bomb Diggity" Ricciardi '01 and the smokin' serves of Anne "Thunder" O'Brien '98, as well as the unadulterated defense exhibited by Kristin "Amazing" Karsh '98, the women's volleyball team has developed a killer offense that should be the death knell for the rest of the intramural world.

The intramural world has recently acknowledged the fact that Pierson IM basketball may very well be the greatest collection of athletes--male and female--in the history of IMs. On the women's side, Shannan "On fire" Smith '98 and Missy "Wonder-woman" Decico '98 recently led the team in a 34-18 complete obliteration of Silliman, raising the team's overall record to 2-1.

For the men's A team, Ben "Dunkmaster" Blake '00, Jeff "Gimme a shoe deal" Hockenbrock '00, and Jimmy "I'm simply fantastic" Bennett '00 have formed the nucleus of an undefeated sophomore sensation-led team. Men's B, captained by Dave "Beast" Drewes '98, and men's C, led by Leon "King of the Broadway foot-long" Willis '99, have each gone down in early losses but are poised to completely dominate the scene as usual.

Whether Bill Clinton will be impeached or not is, as we all know, ultimately irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that by the end of the winter season, all will hail Pierson IMs as the true leader of the free world.
