    This Week in Athletics!

    Emma-Sofie Nordström '26 made 72 saves over two games and the women's hockey team qualified for the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) semifinals with a 2-0 series victory over Yale University this past weekend. The Saints will play in the semifinal for the first time since  COVID-19 shortened 2021 playoffs, when they beat Clarkson University in overtime. They'll have a chance for a repeat performance as they play the Golden Knights at Colgate Friday evening with a berth in the ECAC Championship on the line. 

    Nick Lyndaker '26 achieved the long-sought goal of breaking the St. Lawrence program record in the mile run during his trot at the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference (AARTFC) indoor championships in Rochester, New York. Lyndaker's time of 4:11.99 edged the Saints' previous program record of 4:12.02 in the mile, which was set by Erik Donohoe in 2008. His time was the fastest in the event out of any competitor from the Liberty League, and gave him a second place overall finish at regionals.

    Both tennis teams recorded victories over Ithaca College on the weekend, with the men earning a 6-3 win and the women's team downing the Bombers 7-2. The men's team had two wins at the number one and three spots, while Ariane '27 and Yvette Karera '27 went unbeaten on the day to lead the women's team to victory.

    After a season of program record and historic personal-bests, Alli Sibold '24 will have another chance to take the track for the women's track and field team at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) indoor championships at the Virginia Beach Sports Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, beginning Friday morning. She enters the event as the second-highest seed in the mile, and the fourth-highest in the 3000m. 

    Elizabeth Flynn '27 was named Liberty League Rookie of the Year last Tuesday.  The freshman forward from Brentwood, Tennessee led the Liberty League in rebounds per game with 12.3 and was the only player in the conference to average a double double. Additionally, her 14 double doubles ranked tied for 26th across DIII, and her 12.4 boards per game were the 13th-highest in the NCAA.

    27 St. Lawrence winter sport student-athletes earned Liberty League All-Academic honors in their respective sports, as announced by the Liberty League Commissioner Tracy King last week. In total, 383 winter sport student-athletes have qualified for the league's All-Academic teams. To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. View the full list of honorees.

    Groundbreaking DEI Efforts!

    Margaret Kent Bass is one of three honorees included in the interactive exhibition, “Portraying St. Lawrence,” at our Richard F. Brush Art Gallery. The exhibition draws attention to how portraits act as a form of public memory for an institution or community, and how we can expand both who we remember and how we remember those important to our community.  

    Bass is recognized for the indelible mark she left on St. Lawrence through her groundbreaking DEI efforts. Bass joined the University as director of multicultural affairs in 1993 and became a member of the English department in 2000. She was appointed associate dean for faculty in 2004 and interim VP and dean of students in 2005-06. Bass received the Owen D. Young Outstanding Faculty Award and the Emily Eaton Hepburn Award for Creative Leadership.

    Nadirah Croft, a 2021 St. Lawrence University Higher Educational Opportunity Program graduate, is the artist behind Margaret Bass’s portrait.
