Week In Review:  Summer Session I

Summer Session I has officially come to an end, and as if it were still the Spring semester, it ended with the Sonics winning the league championship.  The Knicks came on strong at the end, but could not finish the job against the Sonics.  Other than Intramural Basketball, we did not have a large amount of participation for our other sporting events.  We encourage all students/ faculty who are attending/ teaching summer school to use the Walker Complex from Monday- Friday from 3pm-7pm.  The Complex is also open on Saturday's from 11:30am-2:30pm.  All sporting schedules can be accessed by clicking on the link of the particular sport in which you are inquiring about.

Week In Review:  Intramural Basketball

The fifth and final week of Session I Intramural Basketball has come to an end and the playoffs are now upon us.  There have been a few surprises in Session I, and the Knicks going into the playoffs with the number one seed has to be the unlikeliest of them all.  The Sonics, who entered the week with a lock for the number one seed lost two straight games and fell to the third seed.  The Pistons lost their second straight game to the Knicks, but luckily limped into the playoffs with the second seed.  The Bulls, who have beaten both the Pistons and Sonics, continued their steady play and are looking to shock Session I with a title.  The four team matchups are very interesting as both games will feature teams that did not play each other during the regular season.  At 4pm, the Knicks will play the Bulls, and at 5pm, the Pistons will play the Sonics.  The Championship game will be played on Thursday, June 16, 2005, at 5pm. 

June 6, 2005

There has been a change in the activity line up for Summer Session I.  Campus Recreation has now added a weekly Spades Tournament to its roster of weekly activities.  The weekly tournament will be held on every Friday afternoon from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. on the 3rd floor lobby of the Walker Complex.  Signups for the Friday tournament must be concluded by 3:30 p.m. on Friday to play at 4 p.m.  All participants must have a valid NCCU ID to play.  Also, the Fitness Schedule for Summer Seesions I & II have now been released.  Link to the Summer Fitness Page to see the times, and different activities going on in Fitness!

Week In Review:  Intramural Basketball

The official first week of Summer Session I Intramural sports has officially ended and as suspected, intramural basketball is the headlining event.  The season started as predicted with the Session I favorites (Sonics, and Pistons) winning their first games.  On thursday, the Sonics, who are defending champions from the 2004-05 season ran their record to 2-0 by blowing by the Jazz with a 72-67 victory.  Surprisingly, the Pistons were ran out of the building by the Knicks who shot their way to a 60-43 win.  Even more shocking was the score as the Knicks were missing their point guard for the entire game.  The Pistons will have to bounce back this coming week if they expect to make the four team playoff for the Session I season.  With only three more games in the regular season, every game counts.  We have now gone two weeks without any participation on our Monday and Wednesday Dodgeball sessions.  Please come out and play from 4pm- 6pm on Court I !!!  Also, if you would like to sign up for any of the Session I activities listed below in the Session I guide, just come to the front desk of the Walker Complex and sign out the needed equipment.
