Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as intercollegiate sports teams of State University of New York Maritime College. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105075389. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
