Faculty started the game strong, dominating the
court on both offense and defense. Kelvin Sage
’13Ed, a standout on the student team, was impressed with the
faculty’s skill and poise. “The faculty team looks better than last

smile. “One of my teachers is playing out there — I hope he doesn’t
fail me!”
While the faculty held a commanding lead throughout
most of the first half, the students rallied and mounted an
impressive comeback to overcome the faculty and take the lead
34-33 at the half. Halftime featured a wide range
of dance, cheer and step teams, a musical performance and free
t-shirts that were tossed into the stands.
