Year 1- # 11; Year 2 – Top 5 ? NYU-Poly Coach Niswander aims high
The Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) media has keenly followed and written about its nascent cricket team’s efforts so when American College Cricket (ACC) released the national rankings of participating college cricket clubs, NYU-Poly celebrated the teams’ # 11 rank with another story.
The team formed this year when Adrian Gordon, a senior in NYU-Poly’s biomolecular science bachelor’s degree program and a star cricketer, with the assistance of American College Cricket President Lloyd Jodah, gathered an informal team of strong players on NYU-Poly’s Brooklyn campus. Bruce Niswander, Director of NYU-Poly’s business incubators and Director of the Office of Innovation, Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship, turned the group into an official school club and a member of the ACC.
Coach Niswander says the NYU-Poly club aims to improve its standing. The team is recruiting new talent and is preparing to play other ACC teams. The next match will be with Ohio State University, which is ranked ninth in the national standings.
“The goal is to make it to the top five when the next rankings are announced” says Niswander.
