Beautiful skies, cool weather, and enthusiastic spectators brought out the best in the opposing teams. Laughter, pats on the back, and friendly competition was the name of the game at the 6th Annual Alumni Sports Day!

Both the men and women's basketball and soccer games were not only competitive, but also entertaining and fun.
