Women’s Tennis It was an unusual finish to the Griffins’ season, as they failed to win the CSAC crown for the first time since 2007. They were seeking to become the first team to ever win five straight conference championships, but fell, 5-3, to Marywood University on Oct. 20. However, it was a remarkable campaign as the team finished 14-2, even beating a Division I school (La Salle University) in the regular season finale. Junior Rachel Fein continued to make an impression, surpassing 100 wins for the program, and becoming the CSAC Women’s Tennis Player of the Year. Conference awards also went to senior Chelsea Jones, junior Kellie Booth, and sophomore Gabby Muller, who took home first team honors along with Fein.
Women’s Cross Country The Griffins set the tone early in the season with a third place finish in the CSAC Preview Meet at Marywood University on Sept. 1. They would continue to improve throughout the fall with another third place finish at the Elizabethtown College Invitational on Oct. 20. In the CSAC Championships, the women placed second, qualifying for NCAA Regionals. Sophomore Christina Smith was awarded first team all-conference honors for finishing seventh overall, with fellow sophomore Holly McGarrity earning second team accolades for finishing ninth overall.
Men’s Cross Country For the fifth straight year, the men’s team ran through the CSAC, winning the title and advancing to NCAA Regionals. Senior Brett Kubiak outpaced everyone with a 26:46 time in the 8,000-meter, winning the individual title. Senior Tyler Rooke, junior Joe Kubiak, and sophomore Joe Joiec also automatically nabbed first team all-conference honors by finishing in the top seven. The team would go on to finish 11th out of 49 teams at regionals, with Brett Kubiak finishing 33rd overall and cementing himself as the College’s first ever cross country All-American.
