The beginning of the fall athletic season at Stevens not only excites athletes on our 23 varsity sports teams, but those in numerous club and intramural sports as well. Stevens Recreation currently has six active and competing club sports who have all begun their fall seasons, with much to look forward to.
Crew
Stevens Crew began their season on Sunday, September 22, when they traveled to Albany, NY, to compete in the Head of the Hudson Regatta. There, they clinched second place with a time of 1:21.54 in the 3.2k Men’s Collegiate 8+ Final. Two weeks later, they took on the Poughkeepsie Regatta, though due to high winds, the race was concluded just halfway through. The team finished their season on October 13 at Head of the Passaic in Lyndhurst, NJ, where in the Men’s Four, they finished first with a time of 17:48.84.
Ice Hockey
Stevens Ice Hockey began its season with a switch to the Empire Collegiate Hockey Association of the American Athletic Union. The team is deep into its season and currently at a 1-3-1 record. Notably, their match against Fairfield University was on Friday, September 27. This match served not only as the Empire Conference opener for the team but also finished at a final score of 4-3, their first win of the season. The team is potentially looking forward to a rescheduled match against Stockton University following poor ice conditions on October 6.
Men’s Club Soccer
Men’s Soccer has taken on the most opponents thus far into the season and is currently standing at a record of 3-4. Their most recent loss against Hofstra proved the most devastating; if they had won, they would have qualified for the postseason. Their final game of the season will be tonight at 8:30 p.m. versus Seton Hall University. President and Captain senior Matias Lopez Carrete noted that he “really enjoyed this season” and they had “a really great group of guys with a lot of young talent,” which makes him optimistic for the future of the team.
Women’s Club Soccer
Women’s Soccer is just one game into their fall season, having taken on Hofstra University on Sunday, October 6. By halftime, the Ducks were down 0-1 but managed to set a final score of 1-1 during the second, taking advantage of a foul and subsequent free kick.
Sailing
The Stevens Sailing Team began their season on Saturday, September 14, at the Coho Memorial Regatta where in the first half, they placed in the top two in both the A and B divisions, overall placing third out of five teams. This was followed by the Stony Brook Fall Open Regatta on Saturday, October 5, and Sunday, October 6 where notable race results included first, second, and fourth.
Ultimate Frisbee
Stevens Ultimate began their season on Saturday, October 5, when they attended Hofstra University and took on three teams, including Hofstra, Hofstra Alum, and Stony Brook. Despite the three losses they took, Captain Will Hines maintains his excitement for the rest of the season as he’s confident that “[their] stock only goes up” and “the sky is the limit.” The team will be competing in two more tournaments this season but is particularly excited about their very first home scrimmage, which will be hosted on DeBaun Field on Saturday, October 26, at 2 p.m.
