About Hartwick Basketball

Oneonta, New York, United States
Hartwick is among the North East’s elite liberal art colleges both academically and athletically. Hartwick has a reputation of academic excellence and offers a most diverse selection of degree programs, with a strong emphasis on a liberal arts education. Our campus is truly beautiful. We are located on a scenic 425-acre site on the northern slopes of New York’s Catskill Mountains, in Oneonta, a town considered by some experts to be among the top ten best college towns in America. Hartwick offers a small college atmosphere; as the student/faculty ratio is 11 to 1, and the average classroom size is 15. Yet we are only 70 minutes from the state capital, Albany, and two and a half hours from New York City. This setting provides an ideal atmosphere academically, athletically, and socially for the aspiring student-athlete. Combine these facts with tremendous facilities, a great schedule, and a major commitment to the basketball program, and you can see why Hartwick basketball has made the final four and is a true Division III Giant! As a member of the Empire 8 Conference, Hartwick competes successfully in one of the premier Division III conferences in the country.

Meet the Hartwick Hawks- Sophomore TEDDY BRIDGMAN


My name is Teddy Bridgman and I am sophomore from Wayland MA. I am a business major and hope to obtain my masters in Communication after I graduate from Hartwick. Before Hartwick, I attended Tilton Prep School in Tilton, NH. I have a younger brother Taylor who is a senior in high school, my mother is an office manager for JSB-partners and my father is a medical sales man for Bio-tissue.

I have always loved sports and becoming a sports commentator has been a long time dream of mine. I have always loved the game of basketball and love playing in college. Coaching is another career path that I may look into pursing when I am done playing at Hartwick. My favorite sports teams are the New York Giants, Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics - I could talk sports all day.

I love it here at Hartwick College, because it is a small liberal arts college. I love the one on one time we spend with our professors and the small class sizes. When I leave Hartwick, I know I will be a better and more rounded individual.
