Over the course of the next two weeks, Scots Athletics will be busy as spring sports are underway but winter sports have not yet finished the regular season - that’s eight teams officially in-season at the same time (the same amount as are active in the fall on campus).
   
The men’s and women’s basketball teams kick things off this Wednesday (Feb .7) with a doubleheader against Adrian and Albion. The women tip at 6 p.m. against Adrian and the men follow at 8 p.m. As a result, the junior varsity men’s team will travel to Albion Thursday evening.
   
The men’s and women’s swimming and diving MIAA Championships kick off this Thursday. The three-day long championship meet caps a full season with personal and season bests along the way. The MIAA teams will compete at Jenison High School in the Championships.
   
The coming weekend will be a full and busy one on campus. The women’s tennis team is set to debut at 9 a.m. and the men’s tennis team to host GRCC at 12 p.m. in the Stone Recreation Center. The men’s basketball team tips at 3 p.m., following the Gagliardi Trophy presentation. The women’s basketball team is the only other team on the road, squaring off against Olivet at 3 p.m. Saturday.
