The Queens College women’s volleyball team’s 3-9 conference record ensures another losing season. Starting Tuesday at NYIT, the team needs to win their final five games to even have a shot at the East Coast Conference playoffs this year. But don’t tell team captain and senior Suzanne Byrne they can’t make it, even despite the recent challenges raised by Hurricane Sandy. “I absolutely hate losing, which is what our season has mainly been comprised of,” Byrne said. “But the girls are all really great and have been working really hard so hopefully we will get results in the last part of the season.” Byrne leads the team in numerous categories…

Senior standout hopes final season is his best
Scoring the crucial goal against Bridgeport University which admitted the last ranked, 2011 Queens College men’s soccer team to the playoffs is a memory that will forever resonate within senior standout Daniel Stoker. However, Stoker, a starter and second-year captain, remembers this day for the result it left the underrated team, not for his personal glory. This highlight is just one of Stoker’s many impressive achievements on the soccer field. Stoker, 22, London, England, began racking up notable awards as a freshman. In 2009, he was voted East Coast Conference Men’s Soccer Rookie of the Year and was awarded with the recognition of ECC Second Team All-Conference. In 2010, Stoker…
