Women's Team: Breaking Through Adversity, Bronze Medal Shines
In this tournament, the women's team played steadily and advanced to the semifinals. Facing the strong Atmospheric Science School, the players fought with all their might but unfortunately lost with a score of 0-3. They quickly adjusted their state and met the School of Geography and Ocean Science in the bronze medal match. With flexible tactical adjustments and decisive attacks on key points, the women's team secured a 3-1 victory and successfully won the bronze medal.
Men's Team: Fierce Battle Among Strong Opponents, Silver Medal Breakthrough
The journey of the men's team was equally exciting.

In the Name of Sports, Showcasing the Charm of Zhike
In this tournament, the students from the School of Cognitive Science and Technology (Zhike) have demonstrated a tenacious competitive spirit and the sportsmanship of “Friendship First.” Whether it is the women's team's resilient comeback or the men's team's breakthrough to the finals, both have highlighted the excellent style of Zhike's “Daring to Fight and Win.” We look forward to creating more brilliance on both the academic and sports tracks in the future! This dual breakthrough by Zhike has not only brought honor to the school but also inspired all teachers and students to devote themselves to learning and scientific research with high morale, continuing to write the youthful chapters of the new era.
