Dooley Cup belongs to students...again

The students defended their Dooley Cup title with a hard-fought 5-3 victory over a team of Emory administrators and staff. Unlike 2007 when the administrators were shut out, 18-0, on the football field, they put up two quick runs in the first inning of the 2008 softball game, February 18. But a two-out, three-run rally by the students in the sixth inning made the difference. Following the win, Student Government Association (SGA) President Emily Allen 06Ox 08C was presented with the Cup and rode off the field on the shoulders of her teammates.
