Last weekend, the Hamilton women’s golf team headed west to Baldwinsville, NY for the Le Moyne Invitational, while the men’s team drove east to compete in Skidmore’s Dr. Tim Brown Invitational at Ballston Spa Country Club in Ballston Spa, NY. The men’s team has been idle since their spring break trip to Florida and were understandably anxious to commence the season, while the women’s group sought to move on from a disappointing 11th place finish the week before at the Vassar Invitational.

This past weekend, the Hamilton men’s and women’s rowing teams partook in their only home regatta of the season. For both teams, the meet was a success.

For the next two weeks, the schedule will be a sprint for the Hamilton softball squad. With the unseasonal weather wreaking havoc and forcing multiple cancellations, the Continentals have seen their schedule significantly condensed since returning from spring break.

Hamilton’s 2016 baseball season is off and running after a very busy start to the campaign. With eight of the nine starters being returning players, the team was able to settle into its regular lineup rather quickly. They kicked off the season with back-to-back wins against Bard College on March 12, edging out the hosts 9-8 in the first game, then coasting past Bard in the second game by a 7-1 tally. More ...
Anyone looking for a bright spot in the men's lacrosse team's mostly lackluster season can point to Sam Sweet ’16, one of the team’s captains. Sweet, a starting attackman, recently surpassed the career 100-point mark in a 9-6 loss to NESCAC opponent Wesleyan and leads the team in points with 18 goals and 11 assists in eight games. According to Coach Barnard, “Sammy draws the toughest defender every game and he’s still putting up the same, if not better, numbers than he did last year. He’s doing a tremendous job.” More ...
When one season ends, another begins for members of Hamilton’s men’s and women’s track and field teams.
