Pierson

Coed volleyball again finishes a 5-0 undefeated regular season with female freshmen Alya "I don't set!" Adamany and Joanna "the hammer" Gedzior providing the youthful vigor that characterizes the team. Steven "I go!" Shafer '01 promises a continuation of Pierson volleyball prowess.

Attention, read all about it! Pierson men's soccer ends its 20-plus game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over Stiles! The freshman hoard of Goncalo Queiroz, Karim Suwwan de Felipe, Jonas "Old joke" Heyman, Eli "Miama" Weiss, Tarak Kadia, Brad "not" Shy, and Michael "the next IM guru" Cheung make all the difference as Pierson soccer becomes real. Andre "no cleats" Kondratyuk '02 continues to dribble circles around American weaklings.

Pierson men's touch fights extinction and coed touch has perished. Piersonites refuse to conform to the "Razzle-dazzle" format, demanding "all out, no pads, blood bath" contests. Jay "die dirtbag!" Ozuna '00 represents by throwing elbows and biting heels each time the ref's eyes wander. Seriously, it's football. Come on, men, start showing up and kicking some ass (in a razzle-dazzle, no contact, gentlemanly manner).

In the world of table tennis, Pierson men and women continue to show their dexterity and raw power. Luis "spins" Mkrumah '00 and Steve "the paddle" Amdur '01 remain an unstoppable force with Connie "the wall" Liu '00 forcing opponents to their knees.

A talented spectrum of successes and losses leave Pierson far from Tyng pace as we accept mediocrity seemingly without a fight. Come on, Pierson! Rally behind our new mascot (Santosh) and destroy the competition (especially Davenport). College pride means trying to play Yale-made sports like razzle-dazzle despite having to skip a section. Make the Swami eat his words! Get out to the fields today!
