The UCSD badminton team participated in a tri-meet this weekend at UCLA. The third school was UC Irvine.
The UCSD women’s team was an unstoppable force. Both the doubles and the singles teams swept Irvine and UCLA.
The men’s team was not as successful as the women’s team, but it did win the top singles spot against UCLA and took second in the doubles competition.
Overall, the team won seven out of 10 matches against UCLA and four out of 10 against Irvine.
The team’s final match is March 31 at Cal Tech.
