This past week, we saw three of our six fall sports teams compete.
Both the men’s and women’s cross country teams had the weekend off. Saturday, both teams will be traveling to Geneseo for the Mike Woods Invitational.
The women’s tennis team also did not compete this past week. Both of their matches were not held.

The women’s volleyball team had an important week for their SUNYAC standing. In their two home games of the weekend, they faced off against Oswego Friday and Cortland Saturday.
In their Friday night competition, the Blue Devils made it interesting before coming up with the win in five sets.
The team took the first two sets before Oswego pulled back into the match with two set wins of their own. The team then composed themselves and took charge of the final set for the win.
In their second match of the weekend versus Cortland, the Blue Devils got off to a slow start and were never able to recover from it.
The team dropped the first two sets of the match before taking the third. Cortland took the fourth and final set to win 1-3.
