    On Ice and Court: Victories Propel Teams Forward!

    Women’s hockey swept both games in the final regular season weekend of the year, registering a 4-2 win over Harvard University and a 5-0 shutout of Dartmouth College. This earns them a bye to the "ECAC Quarterfinal." The team’s record going into the playoffs is 25-9-0, the program’s highest win total since the 2016-17 season.

    Men’s basketball wrapped up their regular season with two wins, downing Skidmore College and Rochester Polytechnic Institute. These wins give the team a second place finish in the "Liberty League" and a first round bye. They face an opponent to be determined Friday evening at Burkman Gymnasium.

    Women’s basketball split their last weekend of the season, but a win over Rochester Polytechnic Institute Saturday was enough to secure a first round home game. They finish the season as the four-seed and host No. 5 Union College on Tuesday.

    Pedro Yupa and St. Lawrence's Top Ranked Alumni Network!

    Pedro Yupa ’25 recognizes the power of St. Lawrence’s top-ranked alumni network, but says he saw a need for networking events that better served Laurentians of color. He was inspired to change that and found a perfect opportunity over mid-semester break. He and fellow members of St. Lawrence University's Men in Color organization worked with Laurentian Engagement to organize a student-alumni meet-up on Saturday, February 17, in Astoria, Queens. 

    Yupa Shared, “It wasn’t just a meeting; it was a necessary bridge connecting current students with alumni of color who have successfully navigated the complexities of life at St. Lawrence. It was about building a supportive community where we could openly share experiences, challenges, and achievements.  
     
    The importance of this event cannot be overstated. It provided a sense of belonging and inspiration, showing students that success is attainable and that they are supported by a community that understands their unique challenges. It reminded me that there are diverse paths to success and showed me the collective strength of our community.”
