reen Eggs and Ham, the Club
Ultimate Frisbee Team, completed
another successful season this year
with a nearlyall-new roster. The 1991-1992
campaignwas a rebuilding year under sophomorecoach Keith Marzec. After losing its
teamleader and coach to graduation, this
year'ssquad was uncertain of its ability to
perform amid such stiff competition. Every-

G

thing came together at the Peabody Classic in
Endicott, NY, as the team proved its capacity
to compete with much more experienced
opposition. They finished in third place, earning a sectional berth. This led to a secondplace finish in the Con bow Conference of
Western New York. They suffered some
setbacks in the spring semester with academic
problems and transfers.
Nonetheless, the

team is very confident as they look forward to
next season, which holds the promise of a
national championship. Almost all players will
be returning for the upcoming season, including its co-captains. The relative youth of the
Green Eggs and Ham, coupled with the experience and enthusiasm that carried them so far
already, indicates much potential for greater
successes in the future.

he Women's Rugby team, otherwise
known as the Flying Squirrels, had a
greatsemester. This meant a fullseven
weekend-longseason which included away
games,tournaments, scrimmages, and a trip to
Montreal.The women ruggers faced many
challenges.
The first goal of the season was to
recruitnew players, or rookies, as they are
traditionally
called. This began at Freshman
Orientation
where they compiled a list of potentialplayers. After mailings end a lot of phone
calls,they not only had freshmen, but others
whowereinterested as well. Their rookies this
semesterincluded:Kelly"Opie" Creamer, April
"Stomp"Radziewicz, Amy "Smooch" Leaf,
Valerie"Cream Puff" Maeder, Mary "Hiccup"
Collins,and Jenelle "H.J." Terwilliger. The

T

squirrels also had one second-semester rookie:
Kerry "Cannibal" Padula. All rookies were
initiated upon the end of the semester play.
They worked hard at learning the game and
contributing to team spirit. When asked to
comment, rookie Kelly "Opie" Creamer could
only say, "The boot!! No, not the boot!!"
Although the team worked very hard at
practices, their final record was 1-1-6. Not only
did the squirrels have about five or six returning
veteran players, but they faced many "city"
teams such as Rochester and Syracuse. The
women who play on teams like this are more
experienced and have been practicing together
for a long time. UB concentrated on educating
their rookies on how to play rugby. In effect,
they hope that as they continue to play to-

gether, their skills will improve.
The highlight of the season was
traveling to Montreal for a night game with
McGillUniversity. What made the trip even
more enjoyable was winning. "We played
together and went out on the field to have
fun. There was a lot less pressure to win.
That was what we needed," said co-captain
Beth "Squeaky" Milano.
Throughout the season, the Rying
Squirrels took on Brockport, Rochester,
Syracuse, Geneseo, and Cornell. They
owe a lot to their dedicated coaches, Larry
"Greek God" and Fred "Blow Hole." Anyone interested in joining the Rying Squirrels can contact a team officer anytime at
the SA Office.

he Drug Free Powerlifting Club was created with the notion that strength comes
from the heart, not the needle. With the desire to bring powerlifting to UB, Joe
Fox, who had long been training with his high school friend, Mike Coudrey, began
training with Jeff Deigan and Shani Lewins in the spring of 1991. The four lifters were
training for the Teenage Buffalo Contest on March 24; in which Coudrey took second in
the 220 lb. class with a 1,300 lb. total. Lewins placed second in the female class with a
515 lb. total. On April 27, at the ADFPA State Championships, Coudrey took second in
the high school 242 lb. class with a 1,400 lb. total. Deigan placed eighth in the novice class
with a 1,215 lb. total. Joe Fox set the state teenage deadlift record in the 165 lb. class with
a 510 lb. lift.
In September 1991, the UB Drug Free Powerlifting Club was formed to increase
student and community membership. The club entered its first meet - The Greater Buffalo
Bench and Deadlift Meet, on November 2. Sean O'Hara easily beat his competition in the
148 lb. class with a 340 lb. bench. In the 198 lb. class, Deigan finished fifth in the bench
with a 330 lb. lift and fourth in the deadlift with a 480 lb. lift.
During the spring semester the club held the UB Open Bench and Deadlift Contest.
The event was extremely successful due to support from area lifters and gyms. The club
also competed in the NASA State Championships on April 12 and made a fine showing.
