Mounties Capture Two AMCC Titles During Strong 2021-22 Season!

The 2021-22 Mountie athletic season saw all sports compete in a full season of competition, as well as many successes across the board. Conference championships and individual recognitions were among the accolades received, to go along with the many other accomplishments.

Fall sports made their first official appearances again since 2019. All of the fall sports made their respective postseason tournaments. Men’s and women’s soccer both earned wins in the AMCC Tournament and were capped by the men’s soccer program’s run to a second AMCC Championship. The men topped both top seeds, Medaille and Penn State Behrend, by 2-1 scores. The championship game was even more improbable as the Mounties played a majority of the game a man down. In the NCAA First Round, the Mounties fell to #8-Messiah, despite a valiant effort.

Women’s bowling made their seventh consecutive appearance in the AMCC Postseason Tournament, before falling in their opening match. It was the first year under Head Coach Jessica Miller (Bello) ΄18.

The spring season saw many firsts. Men’s volleyball competed in their program’s first season, including winning their first game. The lacrosse program also won their first official game, beating Wilson. Both baseball and softball teams made their conference tournament. Baseball had their best finish ever, earning the second seed. Head Coach Kevin Kime also won his 300th career game.

In the AMCC Tournament, they won their final three games, including two consecutive wins against top-seed Penn State Behrend to win the program’s first AMCC Championship and tie for the program record with 27 wins. They had a very impressive showing in the NCAA Tournament, dropping their two games, both in extra-innings.
