Four ofthose teams are Women's including Volleyball (26-6 lastyear), Tennis (4-9), X-Country(2ndPlacein the HudsonValleyChampionships), andfinally Basketball (6-11). The Men's Basketball Team (17-10) are back, as also the Soccer Team after a one year absence from the schedule. Speakingofschedules, below are listed the non-basketball teams 1996/97 schedules. The basketball teams schedules will be printed in our next issue.
