On April 23, 2004 The Daily Orange reported, "When religions clash on the football field, things can get a little competitive. Last year, students from the Muslim Student Association team knocked over a few members of the Baptist Campus Ministries team, said Rebecca Lou, a junior marketing major. 'But I don't think it's because we're Christians,' Lou said, laughing. The game was part of the Hendricks Cup competition, a yearlong athletic battle between religious groups at Syracuse University, including the Muslim Student Association, Hillel, Lutheran Campus Ministries and Baptist Campus Ministries. This year's Hendricks Cup tournament ends Sunday with a soccer game. Throughout the school year, the sects compete in basketball, soccer, softball and Frisbee games, and the team with the most points at the end of the year wins the Hendricks Cup."
