Club History
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 intercollegiate 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 Illinois. The college gave them $50 to rent a van and they drove through the night to play three games the following day.
