The men’s basketball team tore through Columbia Saturday night, earning a 94-78 victory. The matchup marked the final home game for Bruno’s lone senior, Jean Harris ’12, who connected on the Bears’ first basket of the night and finished with 17 points. The squad was extremely efficient, shooting 57.7 percent from the field and an astounding 63.6 percent from beyond the arc. Point guard Sean McGonagill ’14 led the team with 28 points to go along with eight rebounds and eight assists.

The men’s basketball team lost a hard-fought matchup against Cornell Friday night, falling 69-63. Big Red held an eleven-point lead at halftime, and though Bruno surged back to outscore Cornell 32-27 in the second half, it was not enough to overcome the deficit.  The Bears were led by Dockery Walker ’14, who posted career highs with 23 points and 17 rebounds.  The Bears will play their final home game of the season tonight as they face Columbia at 6 p.m.

The Iroquois National Lacrosse team, the only Native American team sanctioned to play a sport internationally, traveled to College Hill Saturday to face the men’s lacrosse team in a scrimmage.  The modern sport of lacrosse has its roots in Native American culture, and the Iroquois National Team has competed in tournaments around the world to represent the Iroquois Confederacy.

In the 153rd showdown between the two schools, Bruno came away with its first victory since the 2001-02 season.

The Bears’ NCAA Tournament run unfortunately came to an end after a 3-2 overtime loss to St. Mary’s College last night.

The Bears will face No. 8 Saint Mary’s (Calif.) in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament at home tomorrow at 5 p.m..

The squad is coming off a 1-0 upset victory over St. John’s in the second round of the tournament, with the lone goal coming from Dylan Remick ’13.  In the opening round against Fairfield, the Bears battled back from a 2-0 deficit, striking three times in the last 16 minutes to clinch the win.

The squad was named Ivy League co-Champions alongside Dartmouth after finishing 10-4-3 overall and earning a 4-1-2 record in league play. While the Big Green clinched an automatic bid into the tournament, Bruno was forced to await the results of the NCAA selection show to learn that it had earned an at-large bid.

Bruno faced a similar scenario last season when it earned an at-large bid and went on defeat No. 25 Boston College and No. 9 University of Connecticut before falling to No. 6 UC Berkeley in the Sweet 16.
