We Are GNAC Champs!

Hello Readers!


On Saturday March 1st, the Albertus Magnus College Men's Basketball team won the GNAC championship! This intense game was played here, at "The Nest." The Falcons won against St. Joseph's of Maine by the score of 84-49. Leading the Falcons with scoring in the game is Darius Watson with 21 points. Watson has been averaging a team high, 21.9 points per game this season. Second in Falcons scoring is James Jennings who scored 16 points. The game was very electric. The attendance was counted at 856 people. The gym was loud as the fans showed their immense support for their Falcons. This is the Falcons' third straight GNAC title.




Head Coach Mitch Oliver has done an outstanding job coaching. He is definitely one of, if not, the best coach in the GNAC. Overall, the men's basketball team has done an incredible job this year. The Falcons are now ranked 13th in the country for division III basketball. This is the best ranking in Albertus Magnus College basketball history. They will take on WPI on Friday March 7th at 5:30 pm at Purchase College for the first round of the NCAA tournament. I would like to personally congratulate Head Coach Mitch Oliver , his staff and all of the basketball players on their accomplishments.
