Rivalry games bring out some great moments, and for Aaliyah McQueen, she had a monster double-double with 21 points and 17 rebounds against Oakland, her former team, to lead Detroit Mercy to a 67-59 Metro Series win in the #MetroSeries.
2024 - Nathan Mysiorek made an immediate impact in his collegiate debut. The freshman went 3-0 in the sabre against the University of Michigan and a 2-1 mark against Wayne State to go 5-1 overall, helping the Detroit Mercy's men's Sabre team to victories over WSU and U-M at the Titan Invitational. The indoor season proved to be gold for Kayla Smith as she posted a career-best 17.88 meters in the hammer for second in school history during the regular season. At the indoor Horizon League Championships, she tossed 17.37m and she became the first Titan indoor championship winner since 2000 and the first women's weight winner since 2005.

He nailed a school-record 11 triples to become the NCAA all-time three-point record holder and finished with 41 points. He was 15-of-26 from the field and 11-of-18 from behind the arc. The 11, 3-pointers was one away from the Horizon League mark. The game was tied at 39-39 when Davis rang in his eighth 3-pointer of the first half to break the NCAA record with his 510th career triple.
