LOCAL COLLEGE NOTES

Tracking the Bears

• Coast Guard Academy runner Kaitlyn Mooney is enjoying a terrific freshman cross country season so far. She was selected as both the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division III National Athlete of the Week and New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Week. Mooney is undefeated in 5K races. She won the Saratoga Invitational on Saturday, beating 220 other runners with a winning time in 17 minutes, 7.5 seconds. It is the fastest time over that distance in program history and broke All-American Tammy

Wilcox’s record of 17:48 set in 1995. • Bridget Boyle, a freshman member of the volleyball team, was named the CGASPORTS.COM athlete of the week after sparking the Bears to two wins last week including a 3-1 upset at NEWMAC rival Springfield. She had a career-high 20 kills and 11 digs in a 25-19, 25-22, 21-25, 25-21 victory. The Bears are 11-6 overall and 3-3 in the conference.

Mariners riding a wave

• The Mitchell College men’s soccer team is heading into a difficult three-game stretch, playing three straight road games including stops at Montclair State and Salve Regina. Junior Andrew

Storton has accounted for six of his team’s 13 goals. The Mariners are 2-5-1, 1-1 in the New England Collegiate Conference.

Camel highlights

• Fresh off its first loss of the season, the 18th-ranked Connecticut College women’s soccer team will attempt to start another winning streak this week with games at Eastern Connecticut State University Wednesday and at home against Bates College on Saturday. The Camels (7-1-1, 4-1-1) reside in second place in the New England Small College Athletic Conference, trailing leader Williams (8-0-1, 6-0-1). The two teams met on Saturday, with Williams posting a 1-0 win in double overtime. • The undefeated men’s soccer team has four NESCAC games remaining to try to catch first-place Tufts (7-1-1, 4-1-1). The second-place Camels (6-0-3, 3-0-3) still have to play Bates, Amherst, Bowdoin and Wesleyan.
