2011-2012 MVP

Our 2011-2012 MVP goes to Chanele DaRosa.  Chanele DaRosa has been the number 1 female player on the NYU Badminton Club-Team for the past two years.  In singles and with her doubles partner, Irene Yang, she has brought numerous wins for the team.  This past year Chanele has taken an even more pro-active role in the team, encouraging the team to condition together outside of practice, as well as solidifying team unity by reaching out to them off the courts in the form of team dinners and social events.  In the 2012-2013 school year, she will take on the role of NYU Badminton Club-team captain.  Chanele is a sophomore on the pre-med track majoring in health sciences. 

Team season wrapup

The 2011-2012 season has come to an end with another successful year for the team.  This year, the team played Columbia, Yale, Adelphi, Marist, UPenn, Cornell, Boston University, and MIT.  This past April the team took its first overnight trip to Boston. In Boston, the team demonstrated its dominance over MIT, winning 15-6.  Against BU, they had a tougher time but showed they were still competitive, taking 9 games to 12, and bringing taking many matches to three sets.  The team has shown that they are a competitive force in the north-east region.

Recreation badminton has also continued to grow this past year with attendance rates staying strong throughout the school year. Congrats to everyone for another successful season.
