The Mount Holyoke College Western Riding club team demonstrated their skills at a double header home show on Saturday, Nov. 2, hosted at the College’s Equestrian Center. The Western team has had a competitive season so far, winning their preseason tournament. The Nov. 2 show was the team’s first official show of the season, followed by a single show at home on Nov. 3. The western teams at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Connecticut also competed on both days.
Following six years as an assistant basketball coach at Juniata College, Abby Wemhoff has stepped into the role of head coach for Mount Holyoke College’s varsity basketball team. As a former Division III basketball player at University of Mount Union, with coaching experiences at both Waynesburg University and Juniata College, Wemhoff hopes to bring “good energy” to the team in an effort to have the players encourage each other during the season. She approaches coaching with an emphasis on attitude and effort, aiming not only to impart technical skills but also to cultivate qualities of character that will serve her players on and off the court.
