The Super Smash Brothers Ultimate team is participating in a play-in for a spot in the playoffs. With a record of five wins and one loss in their regular season, the team is hopeful that they can secure a spot in the national playoff tournament. However, Calvin Larson, the assistant athletic director of Michigan Tech, stated that the next play-in matches are “subject to potential rescheduling.”
The Rocket League team has qualified for the Collegiate Rocket League World Tournament. They have been performing exceptionally well throughout the season, and their hard work has paid off with this opportunity to compete on the world stage while representing Michigan Tech.
