Clinton, NY — Hamilton is looking to improve on last season’s results. The team concluded last season with a 8-12 record, which included finishing 8th in the Summers Cup (C Division). The team has the personnel to made a jump in the rankings. They lost a single player, #1 Martin Bawden, from last season’s Team Championship starting 9. The Continentals will also be gaining 5 players, 3 of whom are expected to compete for positions in the starting 9. Not surprisingly, Hamilton is very focused on NESCAC matches. Last season, 13 of their 20 matches came against league rivals, including the team’s three matches at Team Championships. The Continentals have 3 seniors returning, including Mac Pivirotto, a member of the 2013-14 NESCAC All-Sportsmanship Team. According to head coach Jamie King, Pivirotto is “the the heart and soul of the team.” Along with fellow seniors Peter Harrison and Walker Lourie, his leadership will be key as Hamilton faces NESCAC rivals.
