The UPIKE quick recall team had another strong performance on April 11 at the Salsarita Invitational Tournament at the University of Louisville, with the Division 1 team taking home second place, losing only to the host school in that match’s final minutes.
The team won close matches against the University of the Cumberlands, Murray State University, Eastern Kentucky University, and Transylvania University.
Team captain Thomas Browning said of UPIKE’s performance, “(it) speaks to the quality of students and faculty at the University of Pikeville. Without … coach (Amanda Runyon and Mike Holcomb’s) support, we couldn’t have placed as well as we did.”
The team’s last tournament of the season is April 25 at EKU.
