#SpiderPride on overdrive

From the Robins Center to Buffalo, New York, and across the nation, Spiders were all-in for the men’s run in the tournament. When the final buzzer sounded in the game that knocked them out, supporters in Buffalo gave the team a standing ovation, and pride swelled on campus and wherever Spiders were watching. After two seasons disrupted by COVID-19, one fan posting on a message board summed up the way many felt: “I’m proud of this team for their fight and never giving up.”
