Baseball
The boys took two out of three from UMass. They won 10-6 on Friday, then lost 11-4, but rebounded on Sunday with a 1-0 victory. 5-9 to start the year.
Softball
The ladies split with Delaware (won the first game 1-0, lost the second 6-4). During the week they won at Pitt 6-0. The Lady Lions are 11-11.
Fencing
The fencing team did well at the Mid-Atlantic/South Regional. The men had one champion: Clement Perrier (saber). They also had two silvers (Kamar Skeete–saber, Sebastiano Bicego–foil) and two bronze medalists (Arwen Borowiak–foil, Ryan Griffiths–epee). The women also did well, but no one finished in the top three. I have no clue how many spots qualify for Nationals.
Men and Women are both ranked #5
Hockey
The men’s team lost to Minnesota 3-2 in the Big Ten tournament semifinals. They finished the season 17-20-1 (6-17-1).

Tennis
Men: Went 1-2 at the ASU Spring Break Tournament. Lost 4-1 to #33 Texas Tech. Defeated Idaho 4-1, but then lost 4-3 to #62 Tulane. Yeah, I have no clue what those rankings mean. Is Penn State that bad that they are not even ranked in the top #62? I guess not, since they lost to Tulane. 7-7
Women: The women won against East Carolina 4-0, then lost to UNCW 4-3. 6-7 (0-1)
