Fredonia’s winter sport teams are preparing to close out their regular season and are beginning to prepare for playoffs.
Men’s and women’s basketball will both head up north to face off against Buffalo State this Saturday in their last game of the season. The games will take place on Feb. 16 at 2:00 p.m. for the women and at 4:00 p.m. for the men in Buffalo, N.Y.
The men’s basketball team are on track to have their worst season in school history, as they are now 2-22, with one game left against Buffalo State this weekend.
The last time the Blue Devils had this bad of a season was during the 2014-2015 when they went 2-22 as well. Additionally, senior guards Kadeem Riddick, Isaiah Ice and forward Cody Johnson, will be the trio that are departing from the team.
On the other hand, the women’s basketball team currently sit in fifth place in the SUNYAC standings. With one more game left in the regular season against the lady Bengals, the Blue Devils seem like the favorite to win, as they have beaten Buffalo State earlier in the season, 80-76.
Fredonia men’s ice hockey team are gearing up to finish out their regular season against Morrisville State with two games. The first game is slated to begin on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and the second on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
The men’s ice hockey team are currently 12-7-4 and clinched for the second straight year. The first round of the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) is set to begin on Feb. 20 with teams still waiting to be announced their preliminary rankings.
