January featured five Seahawk teams competing, including men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s tennis, women’s track and field and swimming and diving.

Men’s Basketball

The month of January could not have gone any better for Coach Siddle and the Seahawks, who finished the month with a 8-0 record and are amidst a 12 game winning streak. In January the team was led in scoring by Jaylen Sims (17.4 ppg) but have really been winning with all-around team performances. 

Women’s Basketball

Coach Barefoot looks to turn the ship in February after a rough 0-6 month for the Seahawks. Even with the month’s struggles, Sierra DaCosta had a good month as far as scoring goes. She averaged 17.1 points per game, and scored the most points in a quarter in Seahawk history on Jan. 9, when she put up 18 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime against Drexel.

Men’s Tennis
