Men’s Lacrosse: The Saints advanced to the Liberty League Championship game vs. RIT Sunday, but the Tigers held on for a 11-10 win. The team earned an at-large bid to the 2025 NCAA Tournament and will face Middlebury in the second round of the tournament at Tufts University on Saturday. Additionally, Six Saints were awarded All-League honors by the Liberty League conference office earlier this week. Seniors Bobby Wells, Caleb Torres, and Charlie Miele earned First-Team honors, while sophomore Daniel Mahoney, senior Padraic Condon and senior Michael Marinello earned Second-Team accolades.
Men’s Track and Field: The Saints placed fourth at the Liberty League championships, led by junior Nick Lyndaker, who was named the Most Outstanding Track Performer of the Meet. Lyndaker earned the honor with two dominant individual victories, taking first in the 1500-meter run with a time of 3:54.85 and claiming the 5000-meter title in 14:33.43. He now heads to the AARTFC championship.
Riding: Junior Harper Eskey was named the Region 2 High Point Rider for the third consecutive year, qualifying her for a spot in the Cacchione Cup High Point Rider competition this past weekend at the IHSA National Championships. She placed eighth overall.
Softball: The Saints wrapped up their regular season with back-to-back wins in non-conference play, beating SUNY Canton 12-1 and 10-1. Saints pitcher first-year Hannah Reardon threw a complete game with 10 strikeouts, earning Liberty League rookie of the week honors. They also finished their conference season with a DH loss at the hands of RPI, which locked them into fifth place and a date with the very same Engineers in the Liberty League tournament play-in game on Thursday morning. It’s the second consecutive tournament appearance for the Scarlet and Brown.
Women’s Lacrosse: Senior defender Brigette Gable earned Second-Team All-Liberty League honors, while senior midfielder Neve Ley and sophomore attack Jessica LaPlaca earned Third-Team accolades, the league office announced Tuesday morning.
