The girls snatched the silver medal opposed to the Interamerican University’s team at a game that wrapped up 3-1. “You know how colegio fans are! Even after we lost me ran into the field to take pictures with the team and sing our anthem” shared Andrea Rivera a Physical education major at UPRM. Nevertheless, colegiales did get to celebrate the well-deserved gold won by the male judo team.
That same afternoon the male softball team competed in the finale versus Turabo University loosing by knockout. Our fanatical never stopped cheering, and celebrated those silvers like they were gold. While our softball Juanas triumphed over UPRB Vaqueras, bringing home a hard-worked bronze medal.
