Instead of playing against a rival school, Newburgh-based Mount Saint Mary College Knights teams went head-to-head with each other in the Knight Nation Challenge, an annual fundraiser of the athletics department.
Nearly a dozen of the Mount”™s teams competed to see how many donors they could get to help them raise money over a two-day period in March.
In those 48 hours, about 130 friends of the college donated nearly $10,000 for the Knights. Women”™s lacrosse took the crown for most funds raised at $2,060, with men”™s basketball taking second with $1,900. Women”™s soccer came in third with $1,175.
