Saints Sports
 The field
hockey team extended its season-opening win streak to
five games with lopsided wins over Susquehanna and Oberlin. Women's
soccer won two games last week, 2-1 over Oswego and 5-0
over Elmira, while the men's soccer squad tied
RIT and beat Elmira. Football suffered a tough
defeat at Alfred, but returns to Canton for its home opener this
Saturday against Susquehanna. Men's cross
country won the NYU Re-Regional
race in New York City, led by senior Erik Donohoe who finished
second overall, only one second away from first place. The women's
cross country team was fifth at NYU.

Speaking of blogs, six student bloggers are back at their keyboards, sharing their day-to-day lives at St. Lawrence. Visit our bloggers and read such entries as this from Mary Jane Sweetland, in Spain: I feel very at home with my host family, though it is difficult at times adjusting to a new culture. The eating schedule is very different- that´s probably the first thing you notice. We wake up, and eat breakfast and then my family doesn´t eat lunch (which is usually the biggest meal of the day) until Jesus comes home from work around 3:30 in the afternoon. Lunch is usually at least three courses. We eat a lot of potatoes, pork, and eggs. Most of the food is really good- I have to say my favorite dish is the tortilla espanola, which is similar to a thick omelet with potatoes and onions. Very delicious! Andrea even taught me how to make them! Read more...
