Men’s Basketball
Senior Chad Arrington “This season has been nothing short than historic. Many people assume last year was a fluke so we came on the scene once again underrated and disrespected. We’ve proven to the doubters as well as ourselves that McDaniel is an up and coming program and will continue to make strides. We go into the playoffs confident we can beat any team and that this year will be one to remember.”
McDaniel Men’s Basketball has two remaining regular season games at Johns Hopkins on February 18 and at Gettysburg on February 21. Centennial Conference Semifinals are February 28.

Swimming
Junior Captain Alyssa Romasco, “The swim team has had another fun season. We have been really focused in practice, and it has shown in our meets. These last few weeks of the season are the most difficult, as everyone is anxious to unleash all of their hard work in their final races at the Centennial Conference Championships. I hope for everyone to trust the effort and time they have put into the season and really take a chance, a risk, in their swims. I know we are going to have some tough and exciting races with numerous personal best times. We are ready, individually and as a team.”

After injuring his left knee at the start of the indoor season, senior Scott Pusateri has been working his hardest to stay in shape as he heals. Through swimming, strength and core training, aqua jogging, and stationary biking Pusateri is determined to be ready once his knee is healthy for running again.
“Even though the injury has been frustrating, especially since it is my senior year, I have been staying positive and taking it one day at a time,” explains Pusateri.
