Oh Set Tritons Takes Volleyball Victory

Dressed as Marvel Comics' Avengers and channeling what seemed like super-human energies, the Oh Set Tritons came out victorious for the 5th Annual President’s Cup Volleyball event.

In the finals, Oh Set Tritons faced Gang Green, which was only able to field four players. The final score was 15-14.

“It feels great,” said Oh Set Caption Mike Herreros. “Every year I’ve been trying to put a team together, and I guess this year we planned it out well and had a good team. We had fun and took it to the championship.”

When asked if he had any doubts when competing with the other teams, Herreros stated “Somewhat…we didn’t want to be too overly confident. We wanted to do our best. Some of us were on and off at times but we just had to pick up each other’s slack.”

Up next in the President’s Cup is 3-on-3 Basketball starting at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, February 27 at the Calvo Field House.

Bad News Barracudas Pull Their Way to Victory in Tug of War

The Bad News Barracudas pulled their way to victory for the second year in a row against the Pohnpei Student Organization (PSO) on Friday, March 3rd.

Entering the final game, both teams seemed evenly matched. PSO defeated the Barracudas in the first round of the finals. However, the Barracudas came back much stronger in the next game and beat PSO.

The Barracudas team captain Matt Mills was pleased with the outcome despite a few setbacks.

“Winning feels good,” he said. “We came into this remembering that we did win last year and wanted to repeat it. And even though we were down four or five people, I’m glad we were able to do so.”  
        
Mills said the overall strategy of the Barracudas was to pull and stop “for continuous pulling and effort,” which made for a continuous win for the Barracudas.

Despite some setbacks, Savages team member Chad Leong said he was thankful that they won the event.

"It felt amazing because we were not a stacked team,” said Leong. “We only had 4 players there the whole night, so we just had to play with what we had and get things done.”

WINNER: Pohnpei Student Organization (PSO)

Chemistry, Teamwork, and Unity Lead PSO to Badminton Victory

The fifth annual President’s Cup Competition kicked off Tuesday night with the Pohnpei Student Organization (PSO) turning its early lead to ultimate victory in the games.

When it came down to the championship round, PSO faced the ROTC Arctic Panda Monkeys, last year’s overall reigning champions. With both teams being equally matched in skill and finesse, the intensity grew during the final two sets between the competitors. PSO came out victorious defeating the opposing team with score of 15-10 in the final set.

PSO’s Noriekka Lekka and Liandra Joseph, went undefeated in 5 games including the finals.

“PSO is one of the top active student organizations at the University of Guam, and it is really nice and really exciting cause it is our first time to join the President’s Cup for our organization,” Lekka said.

The duo had no doubts about winning the competition, especially Lekka who plays the sport back home in Pohnpei. He believes that sports, especially those like Badminton, which integrate two-on-two competitors, are all about chemistry, teamwork, and unity.
