Utica College started off its Homecoming Weekend with Pajama Day, where students got the luxury of wearing their pajamas to school without feeling they’d be judged for wearing those fuzzy SpongeBob pajama bottoms or those onesies you and your three friends wear while together.
Some members of the UC community chose to take part in this special day. Pajama Day is one of the many special wardrobe days the college has planned for Spirit Week.
With college basketball slowly approaching, the UC women s team is working hard in practice and looking to bounce back off a tough year finishing 11-14. Michele Davis is returning to Utica for her 16th season as head coach of the women’s basketball team. She has recently reached a milestone of 200 career wins. She is currently at a overall record of 201-164, which is a good .550% winning more than half of her games played.
The team has been doing well on and off the court under her coaching. Her team was named Empire 8 All-Academic for the second consecutive season with an impressive team grade point average of 3.5. Four of the athletes earned President’s List after an outstanding 3.75 GPA or better.
The schedule is tough this year, playing most of the same opponents from last season. Although the record is a loosing one, coach Davis and her team has been working very hard to reach their goals and expectations. Below is a diagram with more information on head coach Michele Davis and her team.
