Students vs professional kickball 2019

Author: Mark Elkouz

​On November 9th, 2019 over three dozen UNLV civil engineering students and local engineering professionals came together for the annual Students Vs. Professionals Kickball event.  This yearly tradition gives students and young professionals in the community the chance to meet, interact, and network; and some friendly competition is definitely always present!  Once everyone was warmed up, the two teams took the field. After a hard-fought first half, it was time for everyone to relax and enjoy a bounty of pizza and refreshments, while they geared up for the second half.  This year’s contest was a nail biter.  There were heroes on both sides, but in the end the professionals pulled ahead to 7-6 for a win in the seventh and final inning.  This win brought the professionals to an all-time record of 3-1 against the students, with their only loss coming in 2018.  The battle is set to return in Fall of 2020, where the next set of students and professionals can join us to make their mark!
