They then split two games with Oswego the next day, running away 9-4 in the second game, setting their record at 8-5. The Saints track and field teams hosted the "Saints Ice Breaker" where the men’s team recorded 13 victories, across all events, enroute to a first-place finish. The women’s squad used strong performances in the middle and long-distance events to earn a second-place finish in the field. For up-to-date schedules, news, and scores visit SaintsAthletics.com. |
