of doing as a swimmer. Please choose a lane where fellow

entering the Sauna as this practice can be hazardous to your
health.
The University of Pennsylvania’s Club Tennis Team competed at the USTA’s Tennis on Campus National Championship the
weekend of April 14th. The tournament began with pool play and the UPenn team had a scarily close first match with Purdue,
which UPenn won by only one game in overtime! Luckily the team moved through its next match against Texas State University
with a higher margin –winning 27 to 15 games. Unfortunately the team fell in a close match to University of California at
Berkley, a past champion of the event. As a result of the team’s tough play, we moved on to compete in the Silver bracket for
the rest of the tournament. While there we defeated Marquette University and Southern Methodist University, but fell to Texas
A&M (a past champion) and UCLA (the defending champion). Ultimately UPenn placed 23rd at the Championship, a result
the team was very pleased with considering they only lost matches to California or Texas teams that had previously won the
tournament. Go Quakers!

SPORT CLUBS
Those who desire sport club membership seek regular participation under a more
coherent design than offered by informal or intramural activities.
ELIGIBILITY
Students make up the majority of those participating on Penn Sport Club teams;
however, full-time faculty and staff are also eligible to participate on a club team.
All sport club teams at the University of Pennsylvania are “recognized student
organizations” and therefore will keep an affiliation with the Office of Student Life.
STARTING A NEW CLUB
Funding constraints and the lack of additional available facilities require that a
moratorium be placed on the acceptance of any new sport clubs at this time. This
moratorium will be reviewed during the 2012-13 academic year.
