Weber, this year's <strong>Phi</strong> Delt sports teams have<br />
excelled. In Softball, hockey, and football, the <strong>Phi</strong>s<br />
won every regularseason game. Despite some<br />
bitter losses in the finals and semi-finals, the All-<br />
Row title was still within striking distance. Second<br />
semester started out with a bang as <strong>Phi</strong>keia Ian<br />
Zaslansky nailed a last-second three-pointer to<br />
beat our perennial basketball rival,AEF'i, We are<br />
planning to field a very strong soccerteam this<br />
