Saints Basketball, Your Liberty League Champions!

It was an electric Sunday afternoon in Burkman as the Saints men’s basketball team dominated RPI 50-42 in overtime to secure the Liberty League championship. In a standing-room-only crowd, the Scarlet and Brown extended their winning streak to eight and improve to 19-7 after defeating Hobart 80-78 in the semifinals on Friday. The Saints will go on to compete in the NCAA tournament. The weekend wins continued with men's ice hockey shutting out Dartmouth 2-0 at Appleton to secure the fourth seed in the ECAC Tournament while women's hockey beat Quinnipiac 3-2 to conclude its season. Men's squash defeated Middlebury and MIT 5-4 during the Semifinal round of the Summers Cup at the CSA Team Nationals while Erik Geier '23 defended his Liberty League title in the 60-meter hurdles and broke a decade-old school record during the championship meet in Rochester.

St. Lawrence's Athletic Excellence!

The accolades continue for women’s hockey in the postseason awards, with head coach Chris Wells being named US College Hockey Organization (USCHO) Coach of the Year. Under his guidance, St. Lawrence finished the 2023-24 season with a 28-11-0 overall record, finishing 18-4-0 in ECAC play. Abby Hustler was also named to the USCHO third team.

The No. 5 nationally ranked men’s lacrosse team took another victory 14-5 over Vassar on the weekend, re-writing the history books in the process. The Saints maintained their perfect record with this victory, adjusting their record to 11-0 and 3-0 in the Liberty League. The 11-0 start is a program record for the Scarlet and Brown and the best start since the 2016 team, who advanced to the Final Four.

Men’s and women’s tennis both came away with victories on the court this week. On the women’s side, it was a dominant performance as all nine Saints took victories in a 9-0 shutout of SUNY Cortland. They also beat RIT 8-1 a day earlier. Molly Jespersen '26, Ariane Karera '27 and Yvette Karera '27 went perfect over the 17-1 weekend for the Scarlet and Brown.

Men’s tennis won their matchup 6-3. At number one, Adam Heilbronner '24 won his first set 6-4 but would be forced to the third set by Grahith Movva. Adam ultimately took the 7-6 (7-2) win over his competition. Much like Adam, Cole Hamilton '24 at three won the first set but lost in a tiebreaker to head to the deciding third set, which Hamilton won 6-1.

The Saints’ Rocket League team bested Utica 4-3 in esports competition Friday, in a best-of-seven series. The win vaults the Saints to the finals of their northeastern division to face East Stroudsburg for the championship title on Friday, April 12. The match will be available on Twitch.

Softball also padded their record with three more wins over four games in the past week, including two extra-inning victories in the process. Their first came 6-5 in eight innings against SUNY Poly, and the second was against Clarkson Sunday. Their record to this point is 11-6, as they enjoy their best start to a season since 2017.

Off the field, the athletic department announced the appointment of Bill DeCoteau as the new Faculty Athletics Representative. DeCoteau joined St. Lawrence in 2005, and currently serves as the Absalom Graves Gaines Professor in the Psychology Department. He brings many years of involvement in local community sports to the role, and is a former student-athlete. Welcome, Bill!
