Michael Angelo Sorice is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois. He has played quizbowl for Illinois since 2000, excepting the 2002-2003 season, during which he was not in school. He's noted for editing Illinois Open from 2003-2007, as well as the Illinois Novice tournament in 2007. In 2007, he served as the head editor for ACF Fall. This year, he led the University of Illinois to a first-place finish at the Minnesota Deep Bench tournament and also won Truman State's Brainal Leakage tournament playing solo as Illinois A. Later in the season, he led his team to victory over the University of Wisconsin at the 2007 incarnation of This Tournament Goes To 11. Sorice-led Illinois teams then lost by a single question in the finals against Chicago at MLK, lost a shot at the finals due to a single-question loss to Drake at Truman State's Penn Bowl mirror, took sixth at Cardinal Classic due in part to massive sleep deprivation, won Division I at Chicago's SCT, and blew a one-game advantage to lose in the finals to Chicago at Chicago's Regionals. Sorice was first, first, second, first, and third in individual scoring at those events, respectively.
