These college baseball teams have lost a combined 141 straight games. That changes today.

Years of baseball hardship will end Tuesday afternoon for either the Yeshiva University Maccabees or the Lehman College Lightning.

Yeshiva, a Modern Orthodox Jewish school, has dropped 99 consecutive contests, while its New York City neighbor carries a 42-game losing skid into Tuesday’s nonconference doubleheader in Teaneck, New Jersey.

The Maccabees, 0-18 this season, last won a game on Feb. 27, 2022, in a doubleheader sweep of the John Jay Bloodhounds. The 0-13 Lightning last checked in to the win column on May 9, 2023, with a 7-4 victory over the Baruch College Bearcats.

Yeshiva alumnus and comic Eitan Levine called the matchup “statistically, the worst baseball game of all time.”

Yeshiva, however, still has years to go before it comes close to the 228 consecutive games the Caltech Beavers lost from 2003 to 2013.

The NCAA does not have any record of most combined losses by two teams meeting in any one contest. An NCAA spokesperson, told of the upcoming Yeshiva-Lehman contest, said Monday, “Wow, those are big numbers.”

Yeshiva coach Jeremy Renna, athletic director Greg Fox and all the players refused comment on the losing streak, according to a university spokesperson. No Yeshiva representative is expected to be made available for comment after Tuesday’s game, which will be played at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

“The university has made the call from above myself, and above the AD, that we’re not going to comment on” the streak, athletic department spokesperson Zeke Warren-Weigmann told NBC News on Monday.

Lehman athletic director Ryan McCarthy said he’s still confident in Lightning coach Chris Delgado, even as the losses pile up.

“We are certain he can turn our program around,” McCarthy said in a statement. “He has been hard at work in identifying and obtaining commitments from prospective student-athletes, laying the groundwork for future success while setting a culture on our current roster.”

Delgado, 26, acknowledged all of the losing has been tough to endure but insists the team is making progress.

“Being on a losing streak is tough, especially a lengthy one, as many people will measure success by the number of tallies in the win column,” said Delgado, a pitcher on the last Lehman team to win a ballgame in 2023. “However, results don’t determine the type of program that we have. With the new coaching turnover, we’re rebuilding [a] program that’s establishing a strong foundation of excellence and integrity.”

The Naimoli Family Baseball Complex, Tuesday’s venue, is among several facilities that Yeshiva regularly rents as its home diamond. It has no lights. So in theory, a monster extra-inning affair in Game 1 could end in a tie.

First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET, with sunset at 7:28 p.m.

The Division III schools last met on the baseball diamond on May 13, 2022, when Lehman won12-11.

Elise Cooper’s involvement began when her daughter, Sophia, joined the Sydney Northern Beaches Breakers at age 12. Her dedication and support towards her daughter’s water polo career inspired Elise to shift from the stands to the club rooms, volunteering her time behind the scenes.

Now in her third season as team manager, she continues to support the team out of her deep appreciation for the club and the sport.

“The ladies prior to me being manager had done such a great job, that I thought it was my turn to step up and be manager. This is my third season of being team manager and I really love it,” Elise said.

“There’s so many great people that I’ve met through the club that I’ve really become friends with,” she said.

The growth of the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships since its inception is a testament to the popularity and participation at a grassroots level. 

“The first year we were at nationals, it was a much smaller pool of teams and clubs playing,” Elise said.

“Now there’s a team from Pilbara, how amazing is that? Such a small community and they’ve got a water polo club here representing. And I think that is a testament to how amazing the sport is,” she said.

Stressing the importance of volunteers, Elise acknowledged the vital roles they play within the water polo community. She urged greater involvement to ensure the sport continues to grow, particularly in youth pathways.

“Clubs don’t exist without volunteers from the committee level, all the way through to tour managers and booking accommodation. The kids don’t get to play if it doesn’t exist, so I think it’s really important,” Elise said.

“You can do as much, or as little as your life and time allows. If you love water polo as much as I do, step in and give it a go,” she said.

“The coaching staff are very excited about our upcoming tournament in Denver. The team we are bringing to Colorado is strong, and ready to compete. There are a few new faces this year, and they complement the rest of the team well. We have added depth on the court and the bench, and a bigger arsenal of tools to work with.

“After an incredible showing at the ECVA’s in October, we realized that we have the potential to be a very technically sound team and have spent this season tightening that up. We have focused a lot of time dialling in our ball control, blocking, and coverage on defence. We’ve also spent a considerable amount of time working with our Middle and Pin Hitters, on offensive transition, and strengthening our setter-hitter connection. We’re happy to report that the tedious work has paid off. With our passing percentage much higher, we are able to run a more well-rounded offence. The Middles are getting into the game more and our Pin Hitters are as effective as ever.

“I want to give a quick shout out to the entire Men’s National Team. They have all worked very hard to get us to where we are. Due to the nature of our practices, and really honing in on the technical part of the game, its taken a tremendous amount of discipline to stay present and dedicated. We believe their hard work will pay off and that will be proven in Denver.

“Finally, one last shout out to Olek Rymon-Lipinski. His dedication and hard work throughout the year have been inspiring for the entire team. Unfortunately, due to an ACL injury he can no longer travel with us. We all wish him a speedy recovery, and his presence in Denver will be missed.”

Kerber cousins help Marquette top Kirkwood to repeat as girls water polo district champion

KIRKWOOD — Marquette sophomore attacker Cassidy Kerber rarely gets a chance to outscore her uber-talented senior cousin Nevaeh.

“She’s just that good,” Cassidy said.

Yet for one night, at least, Cassidy has family bragging rights.

Cassidy scored six times to lead the Mustangs to a 14-7 win over Kirkwood on Wednesday in the Missouri Water Polo girls district championship contest at the Walker Natatorium on the Kirkwood High campus.

Nevaeh added five goals for Marquette (24-1), which claimed its second successive area title and third overall since play began in 2021.

The Mustangs, who also won the initial crown in 2021, have quickly become a dynasty in the up-and-coming sport. The have won 43 of their last 44 matches following an unbeaten campaign last season.

And the Kerber family has played a huge role in that domination.

Nevaeh scored a record 123 goals this season and tallied approximately 370 times in her four-year career. A dominating force for the past three seasons, she is taking her talents to Wagner College in Staten Island, New York.

Cassidy is a younger version of Nevaeh and closed the season with 90 goals.

“They work so hard, every morning, every practice, they’re always out there trying to get better,” Marquette coach Claire Maniscalco. “In the game that mattered most, they were calm and they went out and did their best.”

The dynamic duo worked in perfect sync against a gutsy Kirkwood team that never let the contest get too far out of hand.

The Pioneers (12-7-2) had never beaten Marquette in 12 previous tries and were outscored 186-85 since the first meeting on March 31, 2022. The Mustangs beat Kirkwood 15-3 just 19 days ago.

“We played them as hard as we could and I felt like it was a really good effort,” Kirkwood coach Robert Peglar said. “I’m super proud of them.”

Marquette is just that talented. Its only loss was a 14-6 setback to Illinois power Naperville North, which is ranked sixth nationally.

The Kerber girls weren’t the only standouts on this night. Junior keeper Olivia Brzyski recorded 18 saves and was particularly effective in the first half when the contest was close. She made 198 saves over 19 matches this season and her performance often gets overlooked under the Mustangs offensive explosions.

“She’s not only the best goalie and my best friend, but she’s so good at throwing the ball on those counter attacks,” Nevaeh said.

Brzyksi even made a stop with the top of her head and knocked the ball out to Cassidy Kerber, who scored to push the lead to 11-4 midway through the third period.

Marquette used a three-goal blitz over the final 3 minutes and 8 seconds of the first of four 7-minute quarters to take a 4-1 lead. Nevaeh snapped the tie with back-to-back tallies in less than a minute. Her nifty shot that skidded off the water and into the net pumped the advantage to 3-1.

Kirkwood stayed close behind three goals from senior Chloe Inion. Her tally early in the second period brought the Pioneers to within 4-2.

Cassidy Kerber took over from there with a three goal-explosion in 95 seconds. Two of the goals came on assists from Nevaeh.

The Mustangs, who carried an 8-2 lead into the break, took control with two goals early in the third period. Isla Sattler led the charge with a drive from close range. Sattler had three goals.

“We’ve worked our butts off all season long,” Brzyski said. “This is proof that hard work gets it done.”

Cassidy, who will likely take over the role as face of the program, doesn’t plan on reminding Nevaeh of her 6-5 goal advantage in the title game.

The two lived together for seven years and get along like sisters.

“We all have our jobs and sometimes mine is assisting and hers is shooting,” Nevaeh said. “I’m just glad I’m able to share this experience with her.”

Marquette became the first team to win back-to-back area titles. Oakville won the crown in 2022, and Ladue claimed the gold in 2023.

“Last year, winning it all was definitely new and there was a lot of stress with it,” Cassidy Kerber said. “This year, I liked doing it again a lot more.”

Mira Costa beat Newport Harbor earlier this season, 25-15, 20-25, 30-28, 25-22. while Huntington Beach twice defeated Corona del Mar, three games to none and 3-1.

In the Northern California D1 semifinals, Clovis (29-4) travels to Mitty (38-2), and Harker (26-8) hosts Clovis East (26-11). Clovis and Mitty haven’t met this season, however Harker upended Clovis East 25-18, 22-25, 17-15 in a tournament match on April 26.
