The team's coach is attorney and Brandeis alumnus Mike Lawrence. Professor Ariana Levinson is the team's faculty advisor. The team consisted of Chelsea Dermody, Spencer Probst, Matthew Purdom and Maria Tipton. They were also helped in practice by Dallas Selvy and many other Brandeis graduates, including Dale Hardy, Jamie Izlar, Phil Longmeyer and Derek Miles. Their alternates, Andrew Skomorowsky and Tomsen Leonard, and facilitator, Nicola Pharai, also greatly contributed to the team’s success.
