2009 MIME STUDENT VS FACULTY SOCCER TOURNAMENT RESULTS

 

Congratulations to the MIME faculty for upholding their title on Friday, March 13, at the 2nd annual MIME Student vs. Faculty Soccer Tournament hosted by the OSU Student Chapter of Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE). One faculty team and two student teams were formed, and six games were played in a round-robin tournament style. The faculty fared the best (3-0-1), and the student teams each ended up with a win (1-2-1 and 1-3-0). Photos of the game, courtesy of IIE chapter historian Luis Lopez, are available here.
