The fall club teams season wrapped up this month with four teams making it to championship tournaments and two of those finishing in the top spot.

Club tennis was 9-0 for the fall season and won the New England Sectional Tournament in October. That qualifies the mixed men's and women's team to compete in the national championship in spring 2025. It has been seven years since club tennis has placed in the USTA New England Regionals.

The club powerlifting team, also a mixed team of men and women powerlifters, won the USA Powerlifting Ivy League Powerlifting Championship on Nov. 9.

The Men's Club Rugby Team finished the season 7-3 and qualified for the Division I National Collegiate Rugby National Championships. The team lost on Nov. 16 to St. Bonaventure 41-17, finishing the season with a No. 9 national ranking
