SEPT. 2020 FALL PRACTICE LEADS TO SPRING VICTORY

FOR ATHLETIC TEAMS S tudent athletes were determined to make the most of the Fall semester and the cancellation of sports and sporting events. Remaining focused and hopeful, athletes and teams pivoted from playing a regular competitive season to practicing and readying themselves for the upcoming spring season. Practices, workouts, weightlifting, strength training and meetings continued to be held throughout the semester. The College was unique in its ability to offer training to athletes albeit in accordance with social distancing protocols. As the Spring 2021 It’s been tough for the teams to learn that one of those seasons they’ve waited and trained for has been taken away. My perspective, though, is: Let’s get better. Let’s focus on how we can improve when we get back to playing. Mike Berkun, Interim Director of Athletics:

Semester arrived, their hard work paid off and the results were remarkable. The men’s lacrosse team, undefeated throughout the 2021 season, went on to win the Skyline Championship Title. The pre-season hard work paid off for the women’s lacrosse team as they capped off a historic best season in the Skyline Championship. While the sports season may have changed in the 2020-2021 academic year, every effort was made to provide student athletes with a good learning and training experience.
