Hi! My name is Yoni Zacks, and I am a senior (wow!). I am a Co-Editor-in-Chief and the Online Editor. I also edit the front and opinion pages. I have been writing for Spectrum since the first cycle of my freshman year, and this is my fourth semester as an editor. I have always loved to read the newspaper, and I’m so excited that I get to write for one! Outside of Spectrum, I like to watch sports (Go Canucks Go!), play tennis, and discuss politics. I also contribute periodically to TC Jewfolk!

Pesky, Silvestri, and Bell speak at a postgame press conference. Silvestri gave his final words of advice for future teams: "Everything starts in practice, and then off the field. And what you can do off the field really translates, because as a team, play together and work with each other and believe in each other. I think that takes a team really far," he said.
