A Glimpse of Black History Month!

In Honor of Black History Month, we're celebrating Black Laurentians who have made a difference and left their mark on St. Lawrence.

Rev. Jeffrey Worthington Campbell was the first African-American graduate of St. Lawrence in 1933 and the first Black Laurentian to be ordained as a Universalist minister bt the St. Lawrence School of Theology.

Trustee Sharee Freeman '76 is an alumni mentor and passionate civil rights activist who dedicated much of her distinguished career as a public servant to the indigenous people of the United States.

Brian Uceta '23 was named the Joan Donovan Speech Contest winner for 2023. Uceta is a first-generation student, proud HEOP alum, actor, and member of the ESports team. After graduation he returned to New York City to begin teaching theater at a school in the Bronx.

St. Lawrence's Athletic Excellence!

The accolades continue for women’s hockey in the postseason awards, with head coach Chris Wells being named US College Hockey Organization (USCHO) Coach of the Year. Under his guidance, St. Lawrence finished the 2023-24 season with a 28-11-0 overall record, finishing 18-4-0 in ECAC play. Abby Hustler was also named to the USCHO third team.

The No. 5 nationally ranked men’s lacrosse team took another victory 14-5 over Vassar on the weekend, re-writing the history books in the process. The Saints maintained their perfect record with this victory, adjusting their record to 11-0 and 3-0 in the Liberty League. The 11-0 start is a program record for the Scarlet and Brown and the best start since the 2016 team, who advanced to the Final Four.

Men’s and women’s tennis both came away with victories on the court this week. On the women’s side, it was a dominant performance as all nine Saints took victories in a 9-0 shutout of SUNY Cortland. They also beat RIT 8-1 a day earlier. Molly Jespersen '26, Ariane Karera '27 and Yvette Karera '27 went perfect over the 17-1 weekend for the Scarlet and Brown.

Men’s tennis won their matchup 6-3. At number one, Adam Heilbronner '24 won his first set 6-4 but would be forced to the third set by Grahith Movva. Adam ultimately took the 7-6 (7-2) win over his competition. Much like Adam, Cole Hamilton '24 at three won the first set but lost in a tiebreaker to head to the deciding third set, which Hamilton won 6-1.

The Saints’ Rocket League team bested Utica 4-3 in esports competition Friday, in a best-of-seven series. The win vaults the Saints to the finals of their northeastern division to face East Stroudsburg for the championship title on Friday, April 12. The match will be available on Twitch.

Softball also padded their record with three more wins over four games in the past week, including two extra-inning victories in the process. Their first came 6-5 in eight innings against SUNY Poly, and the second was against Clarkson Sunday. Their record to this point is 11-6, as they enjoy their best start to a season since 2017.

Off the field, the athletic department announced the appointment of Bill DeCoteau as the new Faculty Athletics Representative. DeCoteau joined St. Lawrence in 2005, and currently serves as the Absalom Graves Gaines Professor in the Psychology Department. He brings many years of involvement in local community sports to the role, and is a former student-athlete. Welcome, Bill!

First, women’s hockey head coach Chris Wells recorded his 300th win in a triumph over Union on January 10. Then, men’s basketball head coach Chris Downs reached his 400th victory by beating Bard on January 11.

• Squash: Three athletes had significant weekly award nods in the Liberty League for the period ending January 12. First-year Gregory Malsang was the men’s squash performer of the week. Malsang led the Saints to a 3-0 week from the number one spot in the lineup going 3-0. The first-year was a dominant force from that spot, winning all three matches 3-0 against opposition from Hobart, Brown, and Wesleyan. First-years Miguel Posada Villa and Angel Otshabeng took Rookie of the Week honors in those categories. 
• Alpine Skiing: Junior Alec Nolan and senior Kobe Villeneuve recorded career-best back-to-back finishes to lead the Alpine ski team in the slalom on day two of the Bates College Carnival at Sunday River on January 11. Nolan clocked in with a two-run time of 1:45.13 to finish 17th, while Villeneuve finished in 1:45.24, good for 18th.
