A Semester in Review

The fall 2013 semester proved to be a very successful one for the Adelphi University Badminton Club. 

• Tryouts were a huge success, drawing 55 Adelphi students.
• The competition team competed in two tournaments. They hosted Stony Brook University in the Center for Recreation and Sports on Oct. 19, and traveled to the campus of the College of William and Mary on the weekend of Nov. 9.
• On Oct. 2, 15 members of the team participated in the run/walk event as a kickoff to Jennifer Montgomery Breast Cancer Awareness month, sponsored by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.
• The team held its annual doubles tournament fundraiser on Dec. 3rd, where it raised a record $235 to go towards next semester's expenses.

The team has continued to grow over this semester, and hopes to continue this growth moving forward. In the spring, the team has been in talks with badminton clubs at Queensborough Community College, Boston University and Penn State to possibly set up tournament. In addition, the team is looking to take part in another fundraiser, as well as try and perform community service off campus.
