Aidan Baracao '26 delivered a clutch win in singles to lift the men's tennis team to a victory over Skidmore 5-4 – their first win over the Thoroughbreds since 2009-10. It gave the Scarlet and Brown a 2-1 record for the season.

It was a strong start to the year for No. 15 nationally ranked men's lacrosse, who improved to 3-0 by opening their home schedule with two wins, one over SUNY Potsdam 18-5 on Thursday, and a 15-8 win against Western New England on Sunday. Judge Murphy '24 and Paddy Condon '25 both received weekly conference awards for their efforts.

Alli ranked with a time of 4:55.07, then also registered a new personal best in the 800m and was named Co-Outstanding Track Athlete and Liberty League Co-Performer of the Week.

Leaving a Lasting Mark on St. Lawrence University

In honor of Black History Month, we’re recognizing Black Laurentians throughout our history who have made a difference and left their mark on our community.

As a student, Steve Peraza ’06 says he sometimes felt like the “lone pepper in a sea of salt.” It’s no surprise that the story of St. Lawrence’s first Black graduate resonated with him. Rev. Jeffrey Worthington Campbell graduated in 1933 and was the first Black Laurentian to be ordained as a Universalist minister by the St. Lawrence School of Theology in 1935. Thanks to Peraza, his legacy and impact is still alive today.

Read more about Peraza’s impact and Campbell’s legacy on the St. Lawrence University Instagram or in the  St. Lawrence Uniersity News Article.
