Albany Academy grad Matt Morris hits milestone for Williams
Albany Academy grad wins 100th match of his college wrestling career
Published 9:31 pm, Wednesday, January 10, 2018
Williams College's senior captain Matt Morris won three bouts at 125 pounds in the Williams Open last Saturday in Williamstown, Mass., and he now has a 100-35 career record. He became the 11th wrestler in the long-standing program to reach the century mark.
Morris, from Albany (Albany Academy), posted a pair of pins and a 12-4 decision before losing in the final at Williams. And, at the Citrus Open on Dec. 30 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., he also went 3-1, losing to All-American Victor Gilva of Augsburg 5-0 in the title bout.
"Matt has been a consistent competitor his whole career," coach Scott Honecker said. "It's been a real comfort to know we have such a strong anchor at the lightest weight class. His 100 wins show what a great competitor he is, but his greatest chapter is yet to be written."
Morris has his sights set on the New England Regionals on Feb. 24-25 in Worcester, Mass. He needs to finish third or better for a berth in the Division III NCAA Championships on March 9-10 in Cleveland.
Sean Kuhn (Glens Falls)
The 6-foot-3, 175-pound freshman made his first start in goal for the Nazareth men's hockey team and not only led the Golden Flyers to a 5-3 triumph over Potsdam in Potsdam but set a school record for saves in the game. The Glens Falls High graduate stopped 56 shots, which shattered Nazareth's previous record of 50 set in 2012. The victory lifted the team's record to 7-5-2 overall with a 4-2-1 mark in the United Collegiate Hockey Conference. Kuhn was Section II Goalkeeper of the year (2013-14).
Elijah Burns (Troy)
With standout forward Bonzie Colson sidelined, the 6-8, 235-pound junior played 21 minutes off the bench to help Notre Dame turn back Syracuse 51-49 last Saturday, the team's first victory over the Orange in the Carrier Dome in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The Blair Academy graduate, who spent three seasons at La Salle Institute, had seven points, including 5-for-6 from the free-throw line, two rebounds and a blocked shot to help the Irish move to 12-3 overall and 2-0 in ACC play.

The Air Force sophomore won a pair of gold medals at the USA Shooting Winter Airgun Championships Dec. 1-3 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Galway High graduate scored a USA Shooting junior record with a score of 627.1 to earn the gold, beating out the 2016 Olympian and reigning national champion by 3.5 points. Ogden had a 254.4 score in the final match. In the men's open air rifle, he finished first with a 247.1 score in the final and 1,252.6 total points.
Andrew Sischo (Guilderland)
The redshirt freshman has been on a tear with the 8-6 Daemen men's basketball team. The 6-9, 240-pound center, a Guilderland High graduate, has averaged 18.8 points in his past six games. He started the string with 27 points in an 86-82 victory over Mercy on Dec. 14. He had 23 points and 11 rebounds in an 83-82 loss to St. Michael's on Dec. 30, 22 points in a 68-60 triumph over St. Rose on Dec. 3 and 18 points in a 98-73 win over Roberts Wesleyan last Saturday.

The 5-9 junior guard was named WPI Female Student-Athlete of the Week last Sunday after she helped the Engineers turn back Wheaton 71-47 in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference game last Saturday in Norton, Mass. The Hoosic Valley graduate played 12 minutes and scored a career-high 12 points. She was 4-for-4 from the field, 2-for-2 from 3-point range and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line. WPI is 10-3 overall and 3-1 in NEWMAC play.
Shawn Bleichert (Clifton Park)
The Northeastern junior captured the 60-meter hurdles at last Sunday's Dartmouth Relays in Hanover, N.H. His time of 8.24 seconds is seventh best in Huskies' history. The Shenendehowa High graduate holds the school indoor record with an 8.11 recorded when he finished third at the New England Championships last February. Bleichert opened the indoor season by finishing third in the 60 hurdles (8.27) at the BU Season Opener on Dec. 2 in Boston, Mass. He also finished seventh in the 200-meter dash (22.63).
