Why would the players be so excited just by a few words about their school pride? Well, those few words hold a great meaning behind them to the players.

The atmosphere of Schoenfeld Campus Gym had been electrifying Thursday afternoon. The Fall Homecoming Pep Rally included numerous activities for Concordia’s sports team to partake in. For example, one “challenge” involved a member of the sports team getting wrapped up in toilet paper, under the pressure of a time clock. When time ran out, whichever individual was wrapped in the most toilet paper (or looked the most like they had just emerged from an Egyptian pyramid) won that game.

Every university is best in a different sport and some even play a sport that others don 't have an interest in like Polo.
