CONGRATULATIONS TO CEM STUDENT-ATHLETES Derek Kipperburg and Kyle Bressler on placing 2nd and 3rd respectively at the Pac-10 Wrestling Championships! Congratulations also for being members of the Pac-10 Championship team!

CE STUDENTS BOUNCE OVER CEM 53-36! The CE team handily defeated the CEM squad in basketball on Friday at Langton Hall. Taking an early 30-15 lead into halftime, the margin was extended in the second half. Great shooting, a solid inside game and general hustle won the game for CE, its second hoops victory in a row. The game was a warm-up for the faculty vs CE students shoot-out this coming Friday. The faculty team is undefeated and looking forward to another good match this year. The CE vs CEM rivalry is tied at one game apiece with the earlier CEM football victory this fall. It all comes down to softball in the spring. . .
