Saints Head to Divisional Championships!

Men’s Cross Country: Seniors Nick Lyndaker and Patrick Russell earned individual bids to the NCAA Division III Championship after Lyndaker placed second and Russell 25th at the Mideast Regional on their home course in Canton, N.Y. The NCAA announced the qualifiers Sunday afternoon, sending both Saints to South Carolina next weekend.

Women’s Cross Country: Sophomore Avery Blanchard qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship with a 21st-place finish in 22:37.1 at the Mideast Regional, the best regional result of her career. She stayed steady through a crowded field to secure one of the region’s individual spots.

Football: Eight Saints earned All-Liberty League honors. Senior Nicholas Huhtala, junior Ryan Donovan, senior Ryan Surhoff, and senior Clayton Fogler were named Second Team, while senior Will Lederman, sophomore Aidan Hays, junior Brennan Twombly, and sophomore Sam Arbaugh earned Honorable Mention. Huhtala led SLU with 45 receptions for 567 yards and six touchdowns, highlighted by a career-best 176-yard performance against Rochester on Saturday, where the Saints ended their season with a big win over the Yellowjackets.

Riding: St. Lawrence closed the fall with two home shows at the Appleton Riding Hall. The Saints were Reserve High Point Team on Saturday with five blue ribbons, then claimed High Point Team honors Sunday. Senior Lauren Trexler earned High Point Rider with wins in Intermediate Fences and Limit Flat, and senior Harper Eskey was Reserve High Point Rider after a four-person ride off.

Men’s Hockey: The St. Lawrence University men's program, in partnership with the Hockey Alumni Association, inducted Tom O'Connor '75, P'12, and the late Ray Shero '84 into the Legends of Appleton. The program also celebrated with the Ray Shero '84 Memorial Alumni Game in front of the Appleton Arena faithful. Before the contest, O'Connor and his family dropped the ceremonial first puck, and both O'Connor and Shero were honored during the first intermission in front of a packed Appleton Arena.
