The men’s ice hockey team was a young squad this season. Their season ended with a record of 8-16-1 after a loss to Wilkes University in the United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) first round by a score of 7-4.

Freshman phenom, Nick Martino, was named the UCHC Rookie of the Year and earned second-team all-conference honors. Martino was a force to be reckoned with all season long for the Knights. His 15 goals, 24 assists and 39 points all led the team and placed him tied for fifth among UCHC scoring leaders.

The young Knights will look to build on a strong end to their season as they try to go even further into the playoffs next season while returning all but six players.

Women’s Basketball

The women’s basketball program continued to show progress this season. The young team was made up of 10 underclassmen who gained valuable experience. The team finished with a 9-17 record and fifth place in the Atlantic East Conference. The team lost to Gwynedd Mercy by a score of 74-73 in a very exciting playoff game. The scoring leaders for the season were Terea Hunt, followed by Madison Stewart and Tierra Harris. Harris was named All Tournament in the Drew Tournament, and Hunt was named All Tournament in the Montclair State Tournament.

Women’s Ice Hockey

In their first full season back from the pandemic, the team battled incredibly hard throughout a season with a depleted roster due to COVID protocols and injuries. The team finished the season with a record of 2-20-2.

Katelyn Brown was a senior forward on the team this season. She ended the season and her career as the overall leader in games played in program history and second in total points in program history.

Men’s Volleyball

The program started in 2018 and they are very proud to have the first two, four-year players complete their college careers here. Senior Eric Van Horn, who played all four years, led the team this year in service aces and holds all-time career records in kills (5th), aces (3rd), and blocks (3rd). Teammate senior Jules Maiorano is also a four-year player who spent his time on the court setting for the Knights. Jules owns the #1 spot in career assists at 1,262 and the career #1 spot in digs at 422. Both players contributed greatly to the success and stability of the growing program. The team finished the season with a 7-14 record.

Baseball

The baseball team finished the season with a 13- 22 record, including two wins over rival Cabrini University. This extremely competitive squad was led by a hardworking, good group of seniors.

Senior Kyle Daly and grad student John Giovinazzo earned Atlantic East All-Conference Second Team honors.

Softball

The softball team finished the season at 13-27, but with a new head coach and a very young squad, there is a lot of promise for the program in the future. A season highlight was winning both games against Cabrini University in the last regular season conference games that landed the team in a fourth seed for playoffs. Sophomore Elizabeth Shire had a great season at third base, batting .389 on the year with 3 homeruns, 19 RBIs, and a slugging percentage of .600.
