The Squirrels

The Squirrels?
We are the best soccer team in Princeton. Most squirrels are economists, of course, an engineer here.

2001 Fall We screwed up in the group games.
2002 Spring We were eliminated in our first game of stage 2.

Nov 16 2002 Even years later we will feel sorry that Oscar missed such a golden chance... We had never been so close to the Intramural Championship after 5 straight wins. Then in this freezing cold rain, our opponent in the semifinal was the Italian, Ragazzi. After a scoreless match, the overtime still ended up in a blank sheet. And we decided to play another cruel overtime. The golden chance came at the end of the match, when Oscar was running directly to their goalie and left all other defenders behind, we all thought we would win and ran into the field to celebrate. Then the shot was just a little bit wide! However, that's not the end of drama, a minute later, the Italians created a similiar chance and they didn't waste it. So we'll have to wait to fight for the Championship until the next season, while this semifinal will definitely become our memorable asset.

Jan 10 2002 Another disappointment. We reached the final of intramural indoor soccer but surprisingly lost to Forbes by 0-4. What a shame since we had won them all the time except for this.
