Mercy College has announced that eight of its players were named National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-America Scholar-Athletes for the 2011-12 academic year.
Among those receiving this honor were two Long Island students: Jessica Doria of Franklin Square and Ashley Johnstone of Bellmore. Players are required to achieve a minimum 3.50 grade point average to be eligible for the NFCA All-America Scholar-Athletes award. Both Doria and Johnstone are Honors students at Mercy College.
Jessica Doria, a sophomore who is majoring in Health Sciences, plans to pursue a graduate degree in Mercy College’s nationally ranked Occupational Th erapy program. “I was attracted to Mercy College by the softball team as well as the well-regarded O.T. program,” she says. “All the pieces fi t together.”
With the Mercy College Mavericks softball team now playing 52 games, juggling academic and athletic de-mands can be challenging. Th e small class size and high level of attention from professors and advisors is the
key to making it work. “My professors are very personable
and supportive,” says Doria. “Th ey are extremely understanding about the time demands of sports and working with us to coordinate our academic
and sports schedules.”Ashley Johnstone, a senior who
is majoring is Math Education, also plans to continue at Mercy College to pursue a graduate degree in her fi eld. “I have always wanted to be a teacher, and at Mercy I found the ideal mix of academics and athletics,” she says. “I also love the location, with the beautiful view of the Hudson River, and that it’s close enough to get back home to Long Island easily.”
Th e Mercy College Mavericks will open their season in Florida during early March. Th e team’s fi rst home match-up will be on March 20.
Th e team is led by Head Coach Mike Fazio, who came to Mercy with more than 25 years of softball coaching experience.
Th e Mercy College Mavericks soft-ball program has produced some of the top players in the sport - including former shortstop/centerfi elder Jenna Ausiello (class of ’12) who went on to play professionally in Europe.
Mercy Student Athletes Honored Ashley John-stone dives head fi rst into a base while playing soft-ball for Mercy College. The Long Islander was named a National Fast-pitch Coaches Association All-America Scholar-Ath-letes.

In 2006, Matthew Jehn started BEAT The TEST® in order to provide quality AP review courses available on Long Island. Since that time, BEAT The TEST® has helped hundreds of Long Island students succeed on a variety of AP exams through a three-tiered approach to beating the AP.
The primary focus of the one day (9 a.m.- 4 p.m.) intensive review session is comprehensive curriculum review whereby essential concepts are explained through specific detail. Next, students are provided with subject-specific test-taking strategies to earn them extra points. Finally, stu-dents are provided with a framework to subsequently continue studying on their own. BEAT The TEST® offers a 100 percent money-back guarantee to those not completely satisfied
In order to continually maintain the highest standards, each BEAT The TEST instructor has been meticulously selected based on their experience, proven results, and intimate knowledge
of the AP exam. Additionally, all of the AP instructors are required to attend AP seminars held by the College Board. Thus, each instructor has intimate knowledge of the AP curriculum, exam format, and overall exam expectations.
Each AP prep course costs $249 and is held at Nassau Community College in building G. Sign up online at www.beatthetest.net. For questions, call 516-724-1059. Seating is limited. The schedule is as follows:

Th e Buckley Country Day School robotics team, nicknamed the “Buckley Bots,” won top honors recently in the Project Research category at its fi rst interscholastic competition, organized by FIRST LEGO League and hosting some 85 schools.
Th e Buckley robotics club was instituted this school year for stu-dents in grades four through eight who are interested in engineering, programming, and researching.
During robotics meetings, students use LEGO® building blocks to create robots that are capable of performing certain tasks. Th en the robots are programmed by students using laptops and special software to accomplish those tasks,
determined by FIRST® LEGO® League. Th ey also assign a theme for each year; this year’s is “Senior Solutions.” Th is means that at the competition, students have to display how their robots complete tasks related to senior citizens, as well as present a research project about them. Th e project demon-strates what innovative solutions can be created by students in order to help senior citizens be more engaged, independent, and connected.
