(2/24/08)   Centenary senior Mike Gummerson (Newton/Kittatinny) finished the day at the Metropolitan Conference Tournament with a record of 3-1, which included a pair of major decisons and one pin.  His effort was good enough for third place in the 133 lbs weight class and to solicit one of the Conference's Wild Cards selections to the Division III National Tournament which gets underway March 7th and 8th in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

With his selection to this year's National Championships, Gummerson becomes a three-time National Qualifier, the first in the history of the Centenary Wrestling program.

(2/22/08)  Last evening the Centenary Women's basketball team completed their regular season with an 83-65 win over Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA.  The victory closes the Lady Cyclones season at 15-9 overall, 10-6 in the PAC.  It also solidified the 5th seed for Centenary in next week's PAC Conference Tournament, as they will travel to Alvernia College for a first round match-up at 7:00pm

Centenary senior Ayana Way (Edison/John P Stevens), followed the old adage, "save the best for last", as she scored a career high 39 points to pace the Lady Cyclones.  Way's 39 came on an oustanding 17-for-29 shooting night, which included 5-for-11 from the free throw line.  It not only was a career high for herself, it was also a team high for the season, and the third highest single-game point total in the country this season among Division III players.

Along with their captain's performace, Centenary played an all-around good game holding the host Falcons to just 32 and 33 points respectively in each half.  More...
