Bruce Elenbogen, associate professor of computer and information science who coaches the teams, said "I would like to thank all of our team members for working so hard in practice and giving up their time to travel and compete. Special thanks goes to Jer Lance who served as programming czar whose duties included organizing and feeding the troops during practice."
