I also owe a lot to Coach (Laura Brand-Sias) and would like to thank her as well. I’m honored to be recognized.”

Mortarboard musings

  • Sophomore Spencer Samelson of Larchmont, a right-handed pitcher, helped the Onondaga Community College Lazers wrap up their regular season with a doubleheader sweep at Tompkins-Cortlandt CC. Samelson, who pitched at Mamaroneck High School and will transfer to Manhattanville College this fall, was credited with the victory in the opener and closed out the nightcap with a perfect inning. The Lazers, No. 5 in the country in the Division II JUCO rankings, took a 45-9 record into the National Championship tournament in Tyler, TX.
  • Rasheen Davis, a graduate of St. Thomas Aquinas College where he later served as an assistant to veteran men’s basketball coach Dennis O’Donnell, has joined the staff at Manhattan College. Davis, who received a Masters degree from the College of New Rochelle, will serve under Jaspers head coach Steve Masiello of White Plains.
  • After splitting a double header with Marist College the Iona Gaels softball team clinched the MAAC regular season championship for the second time in three years. Iona won the second game of the double header 3-0. Allison Hand, Eileen McCann, and Chelsea Sheehan each scored in the victory.
