The University of Wisconsin-Superior esports team, which started during the spring semester, is off to an electrifying start.

The team, comprised of Aiden Downing, Alex Koshak and Jasen Bruzek with Aman Weldemeskel serving as a substitute, holds a 4-0 record in Wisconsin Collegiate Rocket League (WCRL) play. Downing has already earned WCRL Player of the Week recognition.

“It’s been a ton of fun working with everyone to build our team from the ground up and we have our sights set on making it to the LAN event in late April,” said Downing. “We are overall very happy with how everything is going so far and hope to continue improving as a team.”

UW-Superior is also a member of the National esports Collegiate Conference (NECC).

In a recent WCRL match against UW-Platteville Orange, UW-Superior came out on top with a 3-0 victory.

While competing as a club team this semester, UW-Superior will transition to a fully varsity program for the Fall 2024 Semester. Follow along with UW-Superior’s WCRL matches online.
