I’m extremely proud of this effort made by our student-athletes in meeting the demands both on the playing surface and in the classroom. This achievement also belongs to our coaching staff who serve in mentorship roles and embrace all of the positive traditions of SMCC athletics. I look forward to another successful semester in the spring!”
