The men's basketball team was one of the most improved squads in the country last year, and they did it by starting four freshmen most of the season. UMBC's spring warriors are rising to the top as well, headed by Don Zimmerman's men's lacrosse squad, ready to make a serious run for the Division I playoffs. The most noticeable change in Retriever athletics is the new facilities. In the last two years, a 50-meter outdoor pool, a track and field complex and a new artificial surface field have become a reality and changed the face of Retriever athletics and recreation. Attending college level athletic events lets you show your school spirit, cheer on your team-many of whom are probably your classmates, and keep up on school rivalries.
Games are a great study break.
