The 2013 induction to Brandeis' Athletics Hall of Fame, a fitting culmination to the 2013 Brandeis Athletics' Homecoming, featured yet another class of accomplished athletes and teams. On Saturday night, six individuals (Jules Love '55 and Rashad Williams '02 of the men's basketball team, Mark Bonaiuto '77 of the baseball squad, Michael Goldfarb '99 of the men's swimming and diving team, Victoria Petrillo '99 of the track and field squad and Danielle Fitzpatrick '04 of the women's basketball squad) etched their names into Brandeis Athletics history.

After narrowly defeating mid-table opposition in its first two games of the season, the No. 19 men's soccer team knew that it would have to step up its performance level this past week with home tests against regionally-ranked squads from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and longtime rival Babson College.
