Two teams from the Drexel University Paintball Club traveled to Pittsburgh for the 2007 Frost Bowl, the third event of the Northeast Intercollegiate Conference (NEIC) Class AA five-man season Feb. 10.
In the two previous events, Drexel finished with a first place finish, a second place finish and two third places. Team veterans AJ Antonioli, Stephen Carullo, Jon Popovitch, Corey Young and Michael Zapantis rounded out the first team, nicknamed "Tony Danzas." Veterans Chris Barnes and Nick Strenk joined with freshmen Tyler Brim, Uriah Dunn and Chris Grabosky for the second team, nicknamed "Cincinnati Bowties."
Both teams played well in preliminary competition, smashing opponents in some games lasting less than a minute. Both Drexel teams made finals, with Bowties finishing a solid third and Tony Danzas going 3-0 in finals to come out in first place. With this first-place finish, Drexel is now ranked No. 1 in the nation for Class AA.
Drexel University also competes in the elite Class A X-Ball format, an invite-only league of the nation's best colleges.
They recently traveled to the Lehigh Valley to compete in a Class-A event where they beat undefeated Penn State 5-4 and Rutgers 11-0. With this performance, Drexel is also now in ranked No. 1 in their conference for Class A.
