MEN'S BASKETBALL
The 2000-2001 season was one of significant accomplishments and achievement, for the team and individuals. The team opened the season with a big win in the State of Maine Tournament (Husson and USM) followed up with a huge road win over NCAA qualifier Colby-Sawyer, which increased team confidence. A win in the Colby Invitational over nationally-ranked Hamilton was followed by a disappointing loss to USM, but the team followed up with a record third tournament championship at St. Joseph's.
In January the Mules remained strong despite a run of injuries and, bumped by two road wins, had a chance for the outright title in the season finale against Amherst.
Sam Clark '01 had an amazing season as he was named MVP in two tournaments, national player of the week in January, and Maine and NESCAC Player of the Year. The ultimate honor for Sam was his selection as Second Team All American by the Division III News.
The loss of seven seniors will be devastating, but the 2001-2002 returning players will have a chance to carry on the tradition of excellence. NESCAC is a major challenge and with an NCAA berth on the line, the excitement will continue in Wadsworth Gymnasium.
