MBA competition on the field 

The annual soccer match between MBA students and faculty took place on Oct. 5 at the Loyola athletic fields. Now in its fifth year, the amicable yet competitive nature of the game exemplifies the spirit of JMSB. The profs wore white shirts while the students wore red shirts. Over the years, each side has emerged victoriously on two occasions, with this year’s encounter producing the first tie at the end of regulation time. The students won the ensuing shoot-out.

The game was a see-saw battle, with each team taking the lead on several occasions. The student team had the lion’s share of ball possession, and long stretches of the game unfolded in the professors’ half, but the faculty side was more efficient in capitalizing on its scoring opportunities. The CGSA provided the teams with well-deserved half-time refreshments, and all players celebrated when the match was over.
