The College of Southern Marylands collegiate robotics team, the Talons, challenged the Mulhlenburg College of Pennsylvania to the game Sack Attack Nov. 3 at the La Plata Campus. Our first-ever college robotics tournament, with support from the Charles County Technology Council and NAVEODTECHDIV, ran smoothly with some close matches, but the Talons came through in the end with a win, said CSM Professor Bernice Brezina, the teams sponsor. All their hard work is starting to pay off and I couldnt be more proud of how well the team did and their positive attitude throughout. The Talons team of Tiffany Lei, of La Plata; Nathan Hancock, of Bryantown; Ngan Than Ngo, of Waldorf; John Hamel and Team Captain Willy Hamel, of Mechanicsville; Stewart Smith, Chiebuka Ezekwenna and Jimmy OBrien, of Waldorf; Jonathan Frank, of Indian Head; and Jacob Brezina (junior member), of Swan Point, along with team members not pictured, Heather Stripling, of Waldorf; Mark Mahan, of Nanjemoy; Elliott Bebee, of Owings and Christopher Williams, of Waldorf, are preparing for the collegiate VEX League ranking sessions and then the League Championship at CSM on Feb. 16 at CSM.
