New Paltz, NY — The State University of New York at New Paltz Athletics, Wellness and Recreation Department hosted a late-night 4v4 basketball tournament Tuesday night in Elting Gym, with six teams participating for a coveted Intramural Sports Championship t-shirt.
 
Among the six teams, one was crowned champions, as Shaqtin' a Fools earned the 4v4 Late Night Basketball Tournament Championship title, while also taking home Best Team Name honors as well. The winning squad was made up of Alex Quezada, Ronny Azcona, Jalen Fenton, Geremy Genao, Enmanuel Lopez and Maximo Guillen.
 
"I think the late-night tournament was a lot of fun last night with some close games," said Hawks Wellness & Recreation Assistant Director, Aquatics Director and Intramural Sports Commissioner Kevin Makarewicz. "There were six teams that competed with plenty of teams bringing spectators to watch. First off, I want to thank my intramural officials for all their hard work last night. These events are not possible without them and their consistent dedication to be able to put these offerings on for their fellow peers is what intramural sports are all about. I am looking to another full semester of Intramural Sport Leagues, Winning Wednesdays and Late-Night Tournaments in the Spring 2022."
 

Prior to the tournament, there was a skill competition held for all students to win some more New Paltz memorabilia. Moussa Wague was the night's skill competition champion and went home with a blue Hawks rally towel after showing off his ball-handling skills to earn the prize.
 
A total of 43 students participated in the single elimination tournament with more than a dozen spectators in attendance to watch, cheer on their friends and their favorite teams and indulge in some late-night pizza with the event running from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.
