Pomona-Pitzer
Hens in Spandex Slip Past CMS
By LAUREN SAUTER

Volleyball is one of those sports I
didn’t play in high school (I guess all sports
are sports I didn’t play in high school). However,
I did play on my seventh grade volleyball team, as a
C-string middle hitter. I quit halfway through the season,
so you can imagine my respect and admiration for someone
who makes it all the way to college. There are lot of
women on the Pomona-Pitzer volleyball team who make
volleyball look way easier than it is. And it’s
not easy, trust me.

Water Polo Names Champion
By HAILEY ANDERSON
Sports Editor
The Inner Tube Water Polo Championship
that took place on September 30 at Haldeman Pool will
go down as one of the most impassioned and intense athletic
events ever to grace the Pomona College campus. The
heavily favored Slippery Porcupines were eliminated
in the semifinals, and the team called Erin Kahle went
on to defeat Lyon 1 and take home the coveted championship.
Ultimate
Club Sports Preview
By LAUREN SAUTER
Sports Associate
What, exactly, are club sports? Well,
they are sports that are not sponsored by the intercollegiate
varsity athletics department, but which have galvanized
sufficient interest throughout the colleges to form
clubs. Although they receive a small stipend from the
school, costs for equipment and traveling are subsidized
by club dues and fund-raising efforts. They usually
practice about twice a week, because members may be
involved in other sports and activities throughout the
year. Club sports include rugby, lacrosse, ultimate
frisbee, men’s volleyball, badminton, and ballroom
dancing. (Side note: You may be surprised that ballroom
dancing is considered to be a sport. You may be unaware
that waltzing happens outside of Civil War movies and
senior citizen activity hours. You may hate ballroom
dancing. No one could not be reached for comment on
the questionable qualifications of ballroom dancing
as an “athletic” pursuit, but I have a few
statements to make in it’s defense...wait, no
I don’t.)

Rhodes Rolls Over
Sagehens

The undefeated Sagehens traveled to Memphis, Tennessee
on Saturday to play Rhodes College, full of confidence
after one of the biggest wins in Pomona-Pitzer football
history. The team returned Sunday with their first loss
of the season and with the bad taste of defeat fresh
in their mouths. Pomona-Pitzer lost to Rhodes 31-21
after having led in the third quarter, 21-16, the comeback
taking the wind out of the travel-weary Sagehens.
