Swimming & Diving seeks to continue their dominance at the NEISDA Championships with the women's team looking to capture back-to-back conference titles and the men's team looking to make it five consecutive NEISDA crowns. Field individually has earned All-NEISDA honors 12 times in her career while for Williams it will be the first time he will compete at the event.

The wrestling team heads into regionals hunting a high finish after taking fifth in 2020. It will be the first time Cardozo will be competing at the event as the Hawks starter at 165.

Women's Basketball will host Endicott College in the CCC Championship game seeking their first championship in program history on Saturday. The Hawks are making their third trip to the title game overall, but this is the first time they will host. Mancinelli is in her fifth year with the program as the team's point guard. She is third in the conference in assists per game this season (4.3) and is also fifth in the nation in assist-turnover ratio (2.97).
