Syzygy History

A syzygy is the alignment of three heavenly bodies (planets, moons, stars, etc).

The Rap

What's Syzygy you might like to know? Three heavenly bodies all in a row. We've got the bodies, we've got the flow, so come on Syzygy, let's go. Let's line those bodies up 1-2-3. We got huckin' O, we got divin' D. We're gonna launch that disc astronomically, so everyone knows we're Syzygy!

The Marines

In 1982 the team was created, but for the first year we were known as the Marines. It started out as a womens IM team, but to be a legal team they needed a "few good men" for gender distribution. In 1983 they formed a team for intercolligiate play and the two men who had played with them at home came along to help assist in coaching. The first tournament they played was Sectionals at Carbondale Illinios. The college gave them $50 to rent a van and they drove throught the night to play three games the following day. (See photo)
