Saints Dominate Competition, Shatter Records

  • Men’s Lacrosse: The No. 20 Saints secured a 9-6 win over No. 5 RPI to solidify a home playoff game. Senior Bobby Wells scored his 100th career point in the contest, and senior Michael Marinello had a career-high in saves with 21.
  • Track and Field: Junior Nick Lyndaker had a personal best and broke the program record in the 1500-meter run, with a time of 3:42.75, four seconds ahead of the previous record holder’s time set by Dave Elster in 1984. This time is also a facility record, placing him second in the NCAA Division III performance list and ninth all-time in the 1500-meter. Both the men's and women's teams took first overall in the SLU Twilight Invite.
  • Baseball: The team notched a 3-1 win over VTUS Castleton this past Tuesday. Sophomore Matt Davis and junior John Gannon each had an RBI, while Gannon and Davis were joined by senior Timothy Connor, graduate student Brett Federico, and first-year Eddie Morrissey in recording a hit on the day.
  • Softball: In a doubleheader against Skidmore, Saints Softball defeated Skidmore 21-8, scoring a season-high 21 runs in game two. This is the most runs the team has put up since they plated 25 runs against Wells College in 2022.
  • Women’s Tennis: With its 5-2 win over William Smith, Saints Women's Tennis tied its program record for wins in a season with 16. They now enter the postseason, where they will play Union College at Cornell in the Liberty League tournament starting this Friday.
  • Women’s Lacrosse: St. Lawrence bested Clarkson 12-6 in the Route 11 rivalry last Tuesday. Both first-year Cate Rathnam and first-year Lily Stanton recorded their first career hat tricks in the win. The Saints faced RIT yesterday in the first round of the Liberty League tournament and had their season end with an overtime loss.
