The AU women’s swimming and diving team placed 13th with a score of 195 points at the New York State championship meet that ended last Saturday in Syracuse. Alfred was in the meet with 17 other teams for the three day event, which took place at Nottingham High School. Ithaca won the championship with a score of 1,403 points followed by Stevens in a close second place with 1,228 points.

The Saints came back from a 10-0 deficit to claim the 44th Superbowl. Many people favored the Colts due to their genius of a quarterback Peyton Manning, but when the final score read 31-17 Saints at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, everybody knew that the game wasn’t just about how fast, strong or football-smart a team is; it was about heart as well.

Quarterback and MVP Drew Brees or Breesus, as he’s known in New Orleans, is an icon to the team and to the city. He has been a firm believer ever since he came to the team just after Katrina that the city and the team can come back from anything.

The Geneseo Blue Knights beat both the Saxon men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams on Jan. 23 in Geneseo. Geneseo beat the AU men, 166-125. This was the Saxon men’s first dual-meet loss of the season and puts Alfred at 6-1, 3-0 Empire 8. The Geneseo women's team defeated AU, 159-110.
