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.

To round out the starting line-up, Andres Carpio had 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and a steal.

Off the bench several players saw time. This includes Christian Laputka, Travis Godley, Mark Blazek, Aaron Laing, and Mike Henson.

Laputka had 2 points and 3 rebounds and Aaron Laing had 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

We would like to thank everyone who came out to the game last night and everyone who has supported us throughout the season. On Monday we find out if we made the NCAA tournament.

We would also like to say goodbye to our seniors Mark Blazek, Chris Ryder, and Andres Carpio and wish them luck!
