The MIT Cycling team capped off a great season last weekend in Ogden, UT, where they won the Division II National Championships team omnium. This comes after a stellar performance the weekend before at Penn State where MIT secured the season team omnium victory in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference (ECCC). The team omnium competition combines points from all men’s and women’s races, so usually requires a team to have depth in both fields.]]>Fri, 10 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400Sports Tech Tennis heads to DIII nationalshttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N25/tennis.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N25/tennis.htmlBy Charlotte Brackett

Miami comes into this series after a long rest following Round 1. They swept the Milwaukee Bucks convincingly and earned a week-long rest before Round 2. Unfortunately for the Heat, they are matched up against the Chicago Bulls after they upset the 4th seeded Brooklyn Nets. The Bulls are a bad matchup for Miami, as they play incredibly tough defense. Luol Deng will make life difficult for league MVP LeBron James, and Jimmy Butler will likely be matched up with Dwyane Wade for the majority of the series. Chris Bosh may be the key to the series. If he can dominate in his matchup against a hobbled Joakim Noah, the Heat will make quick work of the Bulls, but if Noah can play consistently well, Chicago could make things interesting, even without Derrick Rose. As a side note, the Bulls ended Miami’s 27 game winning streak earlier this season.]]>Tue, 7 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400Sports SPORTS SHORThttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N24/baseball.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N24/baseball.htmlTue, 7 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400Sports UPCOMING HOME EVENTShttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N23/uhe.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N23/uhe.htmlFri, 3 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400Sports MIT baseball falls to Brandeis in ninth inninghttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N23/baseball.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V133/N23/baseball.html
