Hamilton men’s squash team is looking forward to start a new phase of success. It may be tough at first because they did lose five of last year’s top nine. However, the youth on the team is very excited. The team is returning their top two players from last season. Colin O’Dowd ’19 earned NESCAC Second- Team in his freshman campaign. Tucker Hamlin ’17 had a very strong season and is a key leader on this year’s squad. More ...
Some say the first day of winter is not the 21st of December, but rather the first time stepping through the rink doors and feeling the cool air hit your face, seeing the reflective shine of a fresh sheet of ice and hearing the soft overhead buzz of the facility’s mysterious machinery. It’s the season of breezers (not hockey pants). It’s the season where “flex” refers not to a display of braggadocio on social media but instead the torque on a stick. It’s the season of sharpened skates and stick tape. Bauer and Reebok take the place of Nike and Adidas as the top ap- parel providers. Great swathes of flowing locks (also known as “lettuce”) practically burst out of every helmet orifice, and it’s not uncommon to spot a “dirty stache” or two nestled behind a face mask. Hockey season is upon us. More ...
In a season where nearly every game was close, you could say that the Hamilton men’s basketball team of 2015-16 was unluckyto finish the season 11-13. Recording only two wins within the NESCAC for the second year in a row, last year’s season seems extremely unsuccessful at first glance. However, there were a lot of positive takeaways from the year which all point towards a much-improved season this winter. More ...

Unfortunately, the Continentals fell 5-2 to the Panthers. Middlebury had 38 shots with 18 on goal, while Hamilton managed 13 shots with only 6 on goal.

Julia Booth ’19 made a season-best 11 saves during the game. Michaela Giuttari ’20, the leading scorer amongst NESCAC first-years scored her 14th of 2016 - matching Hamilton’s fourth-highest single-season total.

Hosting a NESCAC playoff game for the first time in school history, the men’s soccer team made sure it was a special day. The fourth-seeded Continentals earned a rousing 2-1 victory in overtime against the Connecticut College Camels, sending them to this Saturday’s conference semifinals where they will face sixth-seeded Middlebury College on a neutral field. After a dreary week of rain and cold, it understandably took some time for each team to find their zone. The first half went scoreless, with each squad locking down the defensive side while struggling to create opportunities on offense. Coming out of the half, however, the Continentals wasted no time in seizing the upper hand. Alex Cadet ’17, one of the key senior leaders on the team, sent a gorgeous cross through the box towards Eli Morris ’18. More ...
On Saturday the Hamilton Women’s soccer team endured a tough battle against the Williams College Ephs in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 NESCAC playoffs. The playoff game against Williams, the defending NESCAC and NCAA champions, took place at Williams College in Williamstown, M.A. Prior to the game, the Continentals were (5-7-3) overall. The Continentals came out strong with Katja Dunlap ’18 scoring her second goal of the season 15 minutes into play, putting Hamilton in the lead. Katie Krieder ’18 kicked from the right corner to Amanda Becker ’18, who passed the ball to Dunlap. Dunlap then inserted the ball right below Williams goalkeeper Olivia Barnhill ’19 who came out of the net and failed to block the shot. Seven minutes later, Williams returned to even the score on a goal by Natalie Turner- Wyatt ’19. Natasha Albaneze ’18 turned over a cross into the box and Hamilton’s initial clearance wound up controlled by Turner-Wyatt, who whistled the ball directly into the top right goal corner 18 yards from the goal line. Williams’ Sarah Sciré ’20 resolved to recover the ball from a Continental to set up a goal less than three minutes later. More ...
