NEW YORK | The Skyline Conference released its final fall weekly reports of the 2022-23 academic year Tuesday morning, and one Farmingdale State College student-athlete was cited on the weekly honor roll. Additionally, three Rams teams are vying this week for championship hardware, after one conference title returned to Farmingdale over the past weekend.
Women's Tennis (12-4, 6-0 Skyline)
The top-seeded Rams captured their seventh Skyline Conference title on Saturday afternoon, and third in the last four seasons, with a 5-1 victory over second-seeded St. Joseph's-Long Island. Senior Anastasia Hoffman (Massapequa, N.Y.) was named Most Outstanding Player of the Championship for FSC, which earned the conference's automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championship in May.
Tuesday morning, four student-athletes were named to the 2022 Skyline All-Conference Team, including Hoffman and sophomore Lien Collings (Merrick, N.Y.) on the first team and freshmen Amanda Jones (Mastic Beach, N.Y.) and MacKenzie Gisler (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) on the second team. Senior Mia Murrell (Shirley, N.Y.) was tabbed to the All-Sportsmanship Team, while 16th-year head coach Adam Waterhouse earned his 12th Coach of the Year honor from his peers -- including his sixth with the women's program and his fourth-consecutive accolade.
Women's Volleyball (15-7, 10-1 Skyline) | Skyline Report
Farmingdale State wrapped up regular-season play with a trio of straight-set wins, including Skyline wins over Yeshiva (Tue.) and Maritime (Thu.) and a non-conference decision Friday night versus Bard. Head coach Kellie Block's Rams, who have won a program-record 14-consecutive contests, now have the No. 2 seed for this week's 2022 Skyline Conference Women's Volleyball Championship. FSC will play host to a semifinal Thursday night at 7 p.m., against the winner of Tuesday night's first-round contest between sixth-seeded Mount Saint Mary and No. 3-seed Manhattanville. The semifinal winners will advance to Saturday's championship final, which will be held at the highest-remaining seed.
Senior outside hitter Cathleen Farrell (Bayport, N.Y.) was cited on the Skyline's weekly honor roll, as she scored in double-digit points across all three contests while hitting at a .381 clip.
Men's Soccer (9-5-2, 7-2-2 Skyline)
Head coach Chuck Schimpf's Rams wrapped up regular-season action with a 5-0 victory last Tuesday over Sarah Lawrence, and earned the No. 2 seed and first-round bye in the 2022 Skyline Conference Men's Soccer Championship. FSC, winners of seven-straight contests and five-consecutive shutouts, will begin play in the tourney at home on Thursday night, when it plays host to third-seeded U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in a 7 p.m. kickoff. The semifinal winners will advance to Sunday's championship final, which will be held at the highest-remaining seed.
Women's Soccer (9-9-3, 8-1-2 Skyline)
Farmingdale State is the No. 3 seed in the six-team, 2022 Skyline Conference Women's Soccer Championship, and used a late goal by freshman Alyse Rivera (New York, N.Y.) to win its first-round contest Saturday by a 3-2 count over visiting Mount Saint Mary College. Head coach Chris Roche's Rams are now in action Wednesday afternoon in semifinals play, when they'll kickoff at 2:30 p.m. at the College of Mount Saint Vincent in Riverdale, N.Y. The semifinal winners will advance to Saturday's championship final, which will be held at the highest-remaining seed.
