What a phenomenal year. Congratulations to IMVB Blue on their club record-setting 43 match winning streak this semester. While all Illini lament the ultimate loss in the title game, this team's achievements will forever remain in the record books.
The Orange team's season ended on a similarly sour note, but with equal optimism for next year. Despite placing a disappointing third, IMVB Orange had some big wins this season that no future team will ever be able to replicate.
From a personal standpoint, I would like to thank all the players, friends, and family who supported us on this most amazing journey from August to April. Doug, Pat and Miles were the finest officers a President could ever hope to have, though I am quite sure the 2008-09 board will do their best to prove that statement false. Congratulations again, good luck to seniors, and go Illinois!

Congratulations to Illinois White who placed a record-high third in the MCVA conference. The team cruised through pool play and the first round of the playoffs before facing season-long rival Western Illinois in the semis. Two hard fought games fell on the wrong side for the Illini, closing the most successful season in Illinois White's history.
Congratulations on a phenomenal year!
