Michael D. Cornish ’03 and Paul M. Tselentis ’03, both varsity athletes, were the finalists in an intense tournament this spring, but it didn’t take their athletic prowess to reach the top. All they needed were their shining smiles, flawless features, alluring accents—and their athletic bodies didn’t hurt, either.

Starting in a single-elimination bracket of 64 attractive...
