For the first time since 2028, the Goldey Beacom Lightning are champions! The scrappy fundamentals squad thrashed Towson 72-29 in the VI.17 conference championship game for the program's 3rd overall trophy. The accompanying tournament appearance will also be Goldey's first since that 2028 season. Attendance is up, spirits are up, and the Lightning will look to strike again in the D3 National tournament


Mar 09 2045: Efficient offense with no differentiating ability - by El Jefe2 on May 21st, 2025

How has Goldey Beacom, with no guards who can shoot, and no big men who can score on the interior, ended up with the highest eFG% in VI.17? It's simple, until it's not. An emphasis on smart, speedy players who can do the fundamentals right has allowed the Lightning offense to space the floor and find the open shot. This unselfish form of basketball has started to pay dividends as the roster moves to it's upperclassmen years


Mar 09 2045: Staunch Defense Leads the Way - by El Jefe2 on May 21st, 2025

In an effort to build the national profile of the Lightning, Chief Marketing Officer Satrick Porrentino, has unveiled a strategy to push out 3 press releases at a time. Release #2 (this one), would like to highlight that Goldey has held 9 opponents to 37 points or under this season. A truly remarkable achievement for a set of overlooked recruits just trying to make their way in life


Mar 09 2045: Lightning promote - by El Jefe2 on May 21st, 2025

After 15 tedious seasons in VI.17, the Goldey Beacom Lightning have promoted to LL5. Built on the backs of a dynamic interior duo, this fundamental-based squad is out to show you can win in Hardwood with even the most unique strategies
