Spring Break!

Hello Readers!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Spring Break! I know that there has been a lot going on with the athletic teams at Albertus Magnus College. The Men's Basketball team has made it to the third round of the NCAA "Sweet 16", which is the first time in program history. The game will be held at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This is an outstanding accomplishment for the team. The third round game will be played on Friday March 14th against Williams College which is ranked 9th in the country. The Falcons are ranked 13th nationally. This will be a great game for the Falcons because if they win, they move on to the "Elite Eight." I am very proud to be able to say I know most members of the basketball team. They have worked extremely hard for this opportunity and I hope they win the whole tournament!

In other Falcon athletic news, the baseball team has been doing well on their Spring trip in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The team earned their first win with the pitching of their number 1 starter, Michael Barillaro. The Falcons won 9-4 and had a lot of offense throughout the game. Barillaro earned his 1st win of the season. A lot of other players have been doing a lot to help support the Falcons such as Anthony Pellegrino, Patrick Dornfried and Zachary Sokolis. They all have contributed to the win. The falcons play their next game on March 14th at Salisbury in Maryland.
