Badminton Crushes UCI and UCR
Tuesday, March 4, 2008 The UCSD Badminton Team hosted UCI and UCR this weekend for their most pivotal match of the season. Anticipation was high on both ends, as UCI was unbeaten in league play coming into their match against the Tritons. UCSD also entered the meet undefeated, and were determined to end the day in that same way, with two more wins.The Tritons were ready for whatever their opponents had in store and remained confident in the group of men and women players who have kept the lineup consistently strong. This weekend, the team came through once more playing with a relentless drive that has been evident throughout the entire season. As a result, UCSD defeated the Anteaters with an impressive final score of 12-3 and UCR with a score of 15-0. The entire team put forth a major effort to overtake the strong UCI lineup. With crucial wins by the men’s singles performance of Po-Ting Chen, men’s doubles teams Jongwoo Dong /Emmanuel Pun and David Lim/ Harold Juang, and mixed doubles team Samantha Jinadasa/ Emmanuel Pun, the UCSD badminton team remained solid, clinching the Southern California Collegiate Badminton League Title. Next up for the Tritons is the US Collegiate National Badminton Championships, which will be held at Swarthmore, Pennsylvania at the end of March. With their newfound title as League Champion, the UCSD Badminton team hopes to keep their winning streak alive against the rest of the nation.
