The Kirkland Endowment:
Needs and interests of women are at stake

First, Hamilton was edged 3-2 in overtime by nationally ranked, number nine Skidmore College in the Liberty League tournament final although they rallied from a two-goal deficit in the second half. Then, Hamilton received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament in Ohio. More...
