Badminton Team Finishes Third in the Nation
Monday, April 27, 2009 The UCSD Badminton team traveled to Irvine Valley College for the 2009 Collegiate Nationals. All the Southern California powerhouses were in attendance, including UCLA and UCI, the 3rd and 2nd place finishers in the Southern California Collegiate Badminton League (UCSD took first). Other notable schools attending included Drexel University, UC Berkeley, San Diego State University, UC Davis, UC Santa Clara, San Jose State University, Ohlone University and USC. Captains David Lim, Nhan Nguyen, and Patty Lee along with coach Janvier Wijaya had set their sights high for this year's collegiate nationals, hoping to come away with a National title.UCSD sent 26 players to nationals, but only 25 were able to make it, as junior Amy Liu had a family emergency to attend to. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family! The team was a good mixture of veterans and first timers, and the experience our younger players got will go a long way towards future tournaments! As a team, UCSD took home the Bronze Medal, finishing 3rd overall in both the Mens and Womens events, barely losing out (by a final margin of 59-57 points) to UCI, which finished 2nd. UC Berkeley took home the National title, their 2nd since 2007. UCLA finished in 5th place overall. Individually, seniors David Lim and Samantha Jinadasa took 3rd place in the Mixed doubles event, and sophomore Emmanuel Pun partnered with senior Po-ting Chen to take 4th in Mens Doubles. Samantha also partnered with sophomore Aggi Bialy to finish 3rd in Womens doubles. UCSD had a lot of teams in the quarterfinals, but were only able to advance a few of them into the semi-finals. Congratulations to the UCSD Badminton Team in becoming the League champions and Collegiate Nationals Bronze Medalists for 2009!
