It may be hard to believe that it’s week three of the fall sports season, but for Wilkes, it’s a continuation of what has proven to be an entertaining semester so far for the Colonels. Let’s take a look at how the teams fared in the past week.

Day two of the King’s Men’s Invitational saw the Colonels complete play in the tournament at Kirby Park, just a short walk from campus. 

In doubles, men’s tennis saw two duos of finalists, with the doubles teams of Cole Riley/Sebastian Sylvester and Otarhe Okoh/Landon Gleichauf. In singles action, Sylvester and Luke Meissner were finalists as well. 

Field hockey hosted its senior day, taking on DeSales. After a goal from Taylor Bower made it a 1-2 game, the away side scored the final, and winning goal late in the game to secure a 1-3 Colonels defeat.

Women’s volleyball won decisively against Penn College at home, taking the win in four sets. Men’s soccer were back at home, facing off against King’s College. 

After a 71st minute goal from the Monarchs, Grant Gerstner slotted home a penalty kick, making it a 1-1 game and securing a hard fought draw in front of the home crowd at Bruggeworth Field. 

Sept. 17:

Field Hockey took the trip to New York to take on Oneonta, losing 0-1 on the road. Women’s soccer, also on the road, went the opposite way, traveling down to Reading, Pa. to take on Albright. With a 2-0 away from home, the Colonels continued their good run of form. 

Sept. 18:

This time, it was women’s volleyball on the road in Reading to take on Albright. With another 3-1 win, they grabbed their second victory in a span of a few days.

Men’s golf continued the matchup with King’s as they took on the Monarchs at the Wyoming Valley Country Club. A slim match saw the Colonels come home with a 319-327 win. 

Sept. 19:

Women’s tennis, back at home to take on Bryn Mawr lost a hard fought dual match, 1-6. 

Sept. 20:

The day was filled with action, as almost all fall sports programs were competing. Starting off with tennis, both the men’s and women’s team took part in the Dutchman Invitational, a co-ed tournament. Wilkes took 73 total game wins, finishing third in group a. In group b play,the Colonels placed third, with 54 total game wins. 

Women’s volleyball took their win streak into Lancaster in a tri-match against Lancaster Bible College and Rutgers-Newark. After beating Rutgers and losing to Lancaster Bible, the team came away with a split. 

Football was back home after a tough defeat against The College of New Jersey a week prior. After a slow start on offense, the Colonels and quarterback Cooper King got things churning in the second half, ultimately losing 18-26, despite an almost 200 yard, two touchdown performance from King. 

Men’s soccer went to Maryland to take on Hood College, coming back to Pa. with a 1-2 loss. Women’s soccer were back in front of the Bruggeworth faithful, taking a 4-1 win. 

Women’s golf took on Misericordia, University of Scranton and Marywood in a quad-match. Shooting 388 on the day, it was good enough to beat the Cougars and Pacers, but not enough to sweep, losing by 18 shots to the Royals.
