Women’s Team Handball Takes 2nd Place

West Point Women's Team Handball traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts to compete against Boston Team Handball Club and the University of North Carolina (UNC) – Chapel Hill's team. With 18 new players on the team all playing in their first handball tournament, the weekend was a big learning experience. The improvement in level of play from West Point Gold's first game to last game was significant and the coaches for the other teams remarked on their impressive progress. They made great shots and stayed competitive the entire tournament. West Point's Black team defeated UNC 29-3 and lost to Boston in the championship game, taking home second place in the tournament. Both teams plan to bring the new skills learned through competitive play to practice, refining their own skills and prepare for future competitions.
