Tigers Win VaSID Men's Sports Survey, Place Second Overall
(July 14, 2010) NEWPORT NEWS, VA--From start to finish Hampden-Sydney athletics had an outstanding year with not one losing record, compiling an overall record of 90-37-1 (70.3%) between football, soccer, basketball, baseball, lacrosse and tennis. Hampden-Sydney's winning percentage was the best in the men's division in the recent Virginia Sports Information Directors Association College Division All-Sports Survey. The survey ranks all 27 non-NCAA Division I schools in the state by overall winning percentage. The 70.3% winning percentage was helped in great part by football, soccer, and lacrosse who all had their best records in program history. This past year marked the highest winning percentage in school history while it marks the first time Hampden-Sydney has won the men's division. While winning the men's division, the Tigers finished second overall, trailing behind Christopher Newport, which won 72% of all of its contests. Following the Tiger's in the overall percentage was Virginia Wesleyan (61.4%), Mary Washington (59.2%), and Lynchburg (59%). more...

Basketball Hands Out Awards
(May 13, 2010) HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA--The Hampden-Sydney basketball program recently held its end of the year awards ceremony in a low-key affair at the house of head coach Dee Vick. The coaching staff handed out both statistical awards and honors that were voted on by the team and coaches. Each senior was also able to give a small speech about their time as a member of Tiger Basketball. Sophomore Ben Jessee took home two statistical awards for assists and free throw shooting. Jessee led the Tigers from the charity stripe where he shot 84.9% for the season, and his 1.71 assist to turnover ratio also was tops on the team. That number represented a monumental leap from his freshman season and is a testament to his improved ball handling and decision making. Freshman Harrison George also earned two statistical awards, taking home the honors for rebounding and Tiger "Toughness Points." more...
