Mountie Athletics Striving Strong in 2020/21

The 2020/21 athletic season had its struggles, with no official contests during the fall semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Mountie student-athletes persevered to have a quality spring semester full of competition. Not only did spring sports play a full championship season, each and every one of the Mountie athletic teams were able to compete against outside competition. Due to AMCC guidelines, only outdoor competitions were allowed to have spectators present at home events, but fans were able to see our baseball, lacrosse, soccer, and softball teams in action.

Of the sports that had a championship season, baseball, lacrosse, softball, and men’s tennis all made the conference tournament. The baseball team advanced to the semifinal round, before falling in a best-of-three series. They had a successful 19-win season, which included a 6-5 victory over nationally-ranked Shenandoah (#13 at the time). Lacrosse competed in their first season as a member of the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) and made it to the semifinals. They had three first-team All-NEAC members in their first season. Softball played their first games since 2019, when they competed in the NCAA Tournament. They made the conference tournament with a 15-10-1 record, where they made a run to the AMCC Championship round before falling. They were attempting to make their third consecutive NCAA Tournament. Men’s tennis added to the trophy case in 2021, as they went undefeated in conference play and won the AMCC Championship, giving Mount Aloysius their first championship in the sport. They also qualified for the NCAA, marking the first time in program history.
