MTA Students Help in Sandy Relief Efforts
by Mordy Yager ('13) and Eli Eisenman ('13)
 This past Tuesday, the shiurim of Rabbi Ciment, Rabbi Soniker, and Rabbi Axelrod traveled to Far Rockaway to help with Hurricane Sandy relief. The students were joined, for a period of time, by YU President Richard Joel. With the help of the organization Achiezer, based in Yeshiva Sh'or Yoshuv, the students were sent to different houses that were devastated by Sandy. The shiurim were able to experience a firsthand encounter of the destruction caused by the storm.
 One of the student groups was sent to the house of a single mother who had developmentally disabled children; the house had major water damage in the basement. The students bravely went into the basement filled with water in an effort to salvage as many major items belonging to the family. The students helped remove large items like mattresses, air conditioners, and even a refrigerator. In addition to the trip  being an amazing chessed opportunity, the students were able to feel a further appreciation for everything they have after seeing firsthand the suffering that others are going through.

JV Hockey Lions Fall Just Short Against SAR
On Sunday, the JV Lions took on the SAR Sting as they looked to redeem themselves after a disappointing opening game loss against the Ramaz Rams. The first period featured dominant play from our SAR opponents, culminating with a power play goal with three minutes left. MTA couldn't seem to put it together to match the intensity and strength of the Sting. Nevertheless, MTA goalie Paul Friedman stood out from his MTA teammates keeping them in the game with acrobatic, stellar play in net. The second period saw a dramatic change in play as the Lions came to life with strong hustle and intensity. After pouring on numerous close shots, Zev Markowitz ripped a full court slap shot into the bottom left corner of the net to tie the game. The spectators and teammates began to roar and cheer as the team really showed its resilience and endurance to fight back after its sluggish start. The third period had moments of strength, including another strong blast from Captain Markowitz off a pass from Captain Ezra Quint to bring MTA within one, but SAR proved too strong, coming out of the gate with two quick goals to silence the MTA pressure; the Lions lost the nail-biter 3-2. Unfortunately, the Lions were still not able to put it together against their next opponent, the Frisch Cougars. On Tuesday night, the Lions fell to Frisch 7-2.
