SUNY Women's Cross Country Prepares for Season

With the 2018 cross country season fast approaching the SUNY Cobleskill women’s cross country team will look noticeably different this season than in previous years with the departure of five letter winners including four runners who earned All-North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) honors during their careers and led the Fighting Tigers to a third place finish at the conference championship meet in 2017.

As he begins his 26th year at the helm of the Cobleskill program head coach Mitchell Tomaszkiewicz has an interesting take on the upcoming campaign.

“While we are clearly not the team we have been in the past, that usually includes a number of returning letter winners, we are an interesting group which has the possibility of becoming something special,” said Tomaszkiewicz. “At some point people have to graduate or move on so as a coach; you just deal with it. But the overall goal of contending for the conference title is something that remains constant from year-to-year. This year is no exception.”

The Fighting Tigers will be led by returning sophomore Katie Hotaling, Albany, N.Y., Watervliet High School, who earned All-NEAC conference honors as a freshman along with sophomore Samantha Cipkas, Granby, Conn., Granby High School, who lettered during her rookie season.

The recruiting class will feature three talented freshman in Natalie Honken, Endicott, N.Y. Seton Catholic High School, who earned All-Southern Tier Athletic Conference Track & Field honoree in the 1500 meters, Gabriella Decker, Galway, N.Y., Galway High School, an All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) selection in cross country and Ayla Erwin, Jamesville, N.Y., Jamesville-DeWitt High School, a member of Jamesville-DeWitt High School’s New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s (NYSPHSAA) Class B Championship Team.

The Orange & Black will also be counting on senior Tori Stopen, Marcellus, N.Y., Marcellus High School, a transfer from Morrisville State College who placed 23rd overall at the 2017 NEAC Cross Country Championships for additional contributions this season.

The Fighting Tigers will open the 2018 season on Saturday when they will host the Fighting Tiger Short Course Invite on the college’s cross country course beginning at 11:00 a.m.

The Fighting Tiger senior led the Cobleskill men’s golf team to the championship of their own 2017 SUNY Cobleskill Jug Classic at the Cobleskill Golf & Country Club on Friday afternoon. Mulvihill won the tournament’s individual title by posting a round of  six-over par 76 to better the 33-player field helping the Orange & Black record a score of 323 to out distance the six teams in the field for the fourth consecutive season.

Then over the weekend the Clifton Park, N.Y. native tied for 16th place in a field of 50 players with rounds of 81 and 82 for a tournament total of 19-over par 163 at the 2017 Hamilton College Invitational hosted by the Continentals at the Yahnundasis Golf Club in New Hartford, N.Y.

SUNY Men's Soccer Ranked 8th in Coaches Poll

Cobleskill, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill men’s soccer team heads into the 2017 season fresh off a 2016 campaign which saw the Fighting Tigers post the best turnaround year in the NCAA Division III National ranks as Cobleskill bettered a 0-18 2015 season with an 8-9-2 overall mark, including a 5-6-2 record in North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) play, while earning the program’s first Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Championship Tournament appearance. Heading into the new season, the Orange & Black are ranked eighth in the NEAC Pre-Season Coaches Poll.

With 11 returning lettermen and a number of promising recruits, third-year Fighting Tiger Head Coach Joe Machado feels good about his relatively young but experienced squad. However it is an off the field incident that may be the driving force for the team this season according to the Cobleskill Head Coach.

“Last spring a valued member of our Fighting Tiger Soccer family freshman Doug Alvarez died in an automobile accident. This tragic incident has forced us to all mature individually and brought us closer together collectively as a program. After a very trying spring, it is great to be back on the field doing what we love to do which is play soccer. This year we’re going to dedicate the season to Doug’s memory and make every effort to play a brand of soccer that our fans can be excited about and proud of.”     

Offensively the Fighting Tigers will return the bulk of their fire power as sophomore midfielder Mame Amar, Manhattan, N.Y., Liberty High School, the team’s leading scorer who tallied eight goals, including a pair of game winners, and two assists for 18 points returns as does sophomore forward Emile Vwaza, Manhattan, N.Y., Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School, who scored five goals and passed out seven assists for 17 points on the year. Sophomore forward Khadim Diba, Manhattan, N.Y., Julia Richmond High School, also returns after a rookie season that saw him score six goals, with three game winners, and pass out two assists for 14 points along with senior forward David Vosatka, Westford, N.Y., Schenevus High School, who scored five goals and passed out two assists for 12 points on the year.

The recruiting class will feature three field players who will be counted on to have impact led by freshman midfielder Moussa Bamba, Bronx, N.Y., Fredrick Douglas Academy, a gifted offensive player who should add some creativity to the team’s attack and freshman midfielder/defender Aboubacar Konate, Bronx, N.Y., Robert F. Kennedy High School, who will be expected to provide a big defensive presence in the middle of the field. Freshman defender Jacob Bunker Broadalbin, N.Y., Broadalbin-Perth High School, will also see time this year as a shutdown defender who can make offensive contributions when called upon.

Perhaps the area of most improvement this season will come in goal where freshman goalkeeper Sam Sherbacow, Minneola, Fla., Lake Minneola High School, is an athletic and acrobatic performer has earned the starting job backed up by freshman Josh Mazur, Terryville, Conn., Terryville High School, who brings a 6’6” frame and good hands to the position.   

The Fighting Tigers will open the 2017 season on Friday September 1^st when they host the Raptors of Bard College in non-league action with kick-off slated for 4:00 p.m. at Cobleskill’s Soccer/Lax Complex. In pre-game ceremonies Cobleskill will honor the memory of former Fighting Tiger team member Douglas Alvarez who died last year in a tragic automobile accident.
