     Saints Earn Liberty League Recognition and Shutout the Competition

    • Men’s Soccer: Sophomore Henry Brown was named Liberty League player of the year in end-of-season awards. Brown, who was named the league's Rookie of the Year last season and is an all-Liberty League first team member, emerged as the league's top player this season, scoring 12 goals through 17 games and had an assist for 25 points.  
      Elsewhere, senior Max Mogul and sophomore Baker Diaz joined Brown on the first team. Fifth-year Sam Pijpers, sophomore Nicholas Petrone, and senior Will Baker made the second team, and sophomore Gustav Schiebler qualified for the third team. The win for Brown came after the Saints went to the Liberty League championship game and fell to Vassar in penalty kicks. They battled to a 0-0 draw with the Brewers before losing 4-3 in the final game’s penalty shootout. 
    • Women’s Soccer: Senior captain Mia Cence and sophomore midfielder Madison King-Thurber were named to the all-Liberty League second team for the Scarlet and Brown. 
    • Volleyball: Sophomore Kori Meissner, senior Kate Gardner, and sophomore Araiza Acum-Santos all set career-highs as the team lost in four sets to the SUNY Potsdam Bears, but then downed the SUNY Poly Wildcats 3-1 in their season-ending triad Saturday. 
    • Women’s Ice Hockey: Junior goalie Emma-Sofie Nordstrom registered a shutout for Saints women’s hockey as they downed Union 3-0. That improved their record to 8-4-2 on the season. Junior Kennedy Wilson had two goals and senior Abby Hustler tacked on another. Puck drop for the non-conference matchup between St. Lawrence and Clarkson will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, November 13 in Appleton Arena. The Route 11 rivalry game is part of a Field Trip Day that will bring over 3,000 local school kids to the arena for the game. The game will be broadcast live regionally on SportsNet New York (SNY)
