For the eighth-consecutive semester, the Fredonia State hockey team has earned the highest grade point average (GPA) among all of the men’s NCAA athletic teams on campus. This past Spring, the team’s average GPA was 3.01, including 19 players with GPAs above 3.0 and one with a perfect 4.0. Head Coach Jeff Meredith believes his team’s culture, which he stresses is created by the players, has helped the team generate its consistent academic success.

Junior Nick Guarino continued his terrific season Saturday at the SUNYAC championship meet, setting meet records in the mile and 800 meter races at Hobart and William Smith colleges. He won both events and entered the weekend as the fastest miler this winter in NCAA Division III and among the fastest in the 800. On the women's side, senior Jackie Majka produced three distinguished performances of her own. She cleared a season-best in the high jump and a personal-best in the long jump, both victories. She also had a personal-best in the triple jump, good for second place. Next up, the ECAC championship meet next Friday and Saturday at Smith College in Northampton, Mass.
