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 Hawks- Freshman Victor Angeline


Hey, my name is Victor Angeline, and I’m a freshman here at Hartwick College. I went to Rutgers Preparatory School in Central New Jersey, and I am having a good start to my college experience here in Oneonta, NY. I am majoring in Economics and minoring in French, but I will probably add another minor depending on the branch of Economics I look to study.


As far as basketball, one of my greatest moments was winning the Prep B State Championship in my junior year of high school, where we came back from 20 points down in the first quarter to claim the title in the final minutes of the fourth in a packed gymnasium. Here at Hartwick, we have a great group of guys on and off the court, and I am looking forward to having a successful season.


Aside from class and basketball, I enjoy watching movies and keeping up with television sitcoms and latest sports news. Back home, I love to spend time with my family and catch up with friends.
