Puerto Rico

Our team traveled to Puerto Rico to play in the Puerto Rico Classic, December 19-23.  We played some great competition, came away with two wins, spent a lot of time together as a team, and explored a bit while we were there.

Once we arrived on Day 1, we had to check out the beach right away.

We played Randolph-Macon College at the University of Puerto Rico - Bayamon and the University of Scranton at the University of Sacred Heart. The picture above was taken outside the gym at Sacred Heart.

After we played Scranton, we spent the rest of the day exploring Old San Juan.  It was a beautiful drive along the coast from our hotel to Old San Juan.

Our Team taking in the sights

We checked out the Fort San Felipe del Morro.  It was built in the 16th century. 

After checking out the Fort, we walked around Old San Juan.

The following day, we explored El Yunque National Forest.  It is the only rain forest that belongs to the U.S. Forest Service. 

All in all, it was a great experience.  You can check out more pictures of our trip on our Facebook page.

Last Week of Class

We are down to 4 days left of class this semester.  It's hard to believe how fast time has gone by.  Our players are putting a lot of time into their end of semester projects and papers while preparing for their final exams next week.  During the midst of this extremely busy week academically, we have two games on the road.  We take on Gettysburg tomorrow and then travel to Haverford on Saturday.  Both are tough conference opponents.  Follow our great game coverage on GoDiplomats.com!
