Men’s Baseball
The SUNY Old Westbury Men’s Baseball team has been up and down this season with a current record of 13-14 as of April 25. While a few of their games were canceled due to some bad weather, they pushed their way through a rocky season. They recently scored a win in a doubleheader against Mount Saint Mary College on April 14. The team has grown stronger everyday. Freshman James Still was named as a national DIII rookie of the week. He helped his team win three Skyline games, he went 10-for-18 (.556) at the plate over four games against UMSV and Mount Saint Mary College (New York), with 12 RBI, nine runs scored, and five home runs. He eventually broke the first-year program record with nine home runs.

Men’s Volleyball
The Men’s Volleyball team struggled this season with a record of 2-22 as of April 20. While the team was on a bit of a losing streak, they snagged two wins against Yeshiva University. Unfortunately, their season ended in defeat in a tri-match against Sarah Lawrence College and Manhattanville College. Though the season may have ended on a not-so-high note, they continue to recruit new players every year. Junior Jose Lorenzo Santos was named to the Skyline Conference’s first team on April 16. Making 66 sets for the Panthers throughout the 2024 campaign, he finished his first season as a ‘libero’ (defensive specialist) with 4 kills, 13 assists, and 254 digs.

Women’s Lacrosse
This season was not-so-kind to the women’s lacrosse team with an overall record of 2-10. While the team did beat Albertus Magnus College with a score of 15-1, it’s been nothing but a struggle for the team, losing eight consecutive games. They won their most recent match up against Purchase College on April 26 with a score of 8-7. While the win didn’t give them a winning record, it was a way to finish strong for the Panthers. This season may have been a struggle, but there’s always a chance to come back strong for their next season.
