Catamounts All-Access
Catamount Country will be buzzing on Saturday (Nov. 18) as the University of Vermont athletic department will be hosting five home events at the Patrick Gymnasium-Forbush Natatorium-Gutterson Fieldhouse complex. The day begins with the Catamount swimming and diving team competing against America East foe Maine at 12:00pm at Forbush Natatorium. Head coach Gerry Cournoyer's squad started off the season with a 4-0 mark for the first time in school history and boasts several talented swimmers. Following the swim meet, the Vermont men's basketball and women's hockey teams take the court and ice. Head coach Mike Lonergan's basketball team hosts Drexel at 2:00pm at Patrick Gymnasium. The Catamounts are coming off a stunning upset at Boston College on Monday night and Saturday marks UVM's home opener. Head coach Tim Bothwell's squad earned a tie with Northeastern last weekend and hopes to carry some of that momentum into Saturday's match up versus Robert Morris at 2:00pm at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Following the 2:00pm contests, the UVM women's basketball team hits the court again in the second day of the TD Banknorth Classic. The consolation game begins at 6:00pm and will be followed by the championship game at 8:00pm. The tournament tips-off tonight (Fri., Nov. 17) as East Carolina takes on Harvard at 6:00pm and Holy Cross faces the Catamounts at 8:00pm. Also in the mix on Saturday in Catamount Country is the Vermont men's hockey team. Head coach Kevin Sneddon's team faces Merrimack at 7:05pm at Gutterson Fieldhouse in a Hockey East game.
