Gannon beats KU, wins PSAC Title
The men's basketball team fell to Gannon in Saturday's PSAC Championship by a score of 80-65. The Golden Bears fall to 26-4, with half of their losses coming at the hands of Gannon. Despite the loss, Kutztown's season is not over as they will likely be chosen to compete in the Regional Tournament, which will be held from March 14-17.
Steph Denlinger: Home Run Queen
As of Saturday March 6, 2009, no Division II softball player has hit more homeruns in her career than Kutztown's own Steph Denlinger. She has now hit 62 long balls in her career and still has over half of her senior season to add to her mark. Congratulations, Steph!
