Coaches Reach Milestone Wins, Athletes Receive Honors 

• Coaching: Two longtime St. Lawrence coaches hit milestone wins in a 24-hour period last weekend. First, women’s hockey head coach Chris Wells recorded his 300th win in a triumph over Union on January 10. Then, men’s basketball head coach Chris Downs reached his 400th victory by beating Bard on January 11. Both coaches have spent their head coaching careers at St. Lawrence, and all their victories have come from the Scarlet and Brown. 
• Men’s Track and Field: Junior Nick Lyndaker took victory in the mile run at the Utica Winter Opener on Friday, earning Liberty League Athlete of the Week honors. Lyndaker posted the seventh-highest time in the mile run nationally, with a time of 4:15.01. 
• Swimming: Both the men’s and women’s swim teams secured victories Friday, with the women sending off their seniors by beating SUNY Potsdam 124–59, and the men drowning the Bears with an 85-56 victory. 
• Women’s Hockey: Two players received national recognition last week. Junior goaltender Emma-Sofie Nordstrom was named one of 35 goaltenders added to the Hockey Commissioners Association Goalie of the Year "Watch List" for 2025. Nordstrom also received her third MAC Goaltending Goalie of the Week honor last week after recording 54 saves in two wins. Graduate student Sarah Thompson was selected as one of 14 finalists for the 2025 Hockey Humanitarian Award. The award, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary season, is presented annually to college hockey's finest citizen—a student-athlete who makes significant contributions not only to their team but also to their community through leadership in volunteerism. 
• Squash: Three athletes had significant weekly award nods in the Liberty League for the period ending January 12. First-year Gregory Malsang was the men’s squash performer of the week. Malsang led the Saints to a 3-0 week from the number one spot in the lineup going 3-0. The first-year was a dominant force from that spot, winning all three matches 3-0 against opposition from Hobart, Brown, and Wesleyan. First-years Miguel Posada Villa and Angel Otshabeng took Rookie of the Week honors in those categories. 
• Alpine Skiing: Junior Alec Nolan and senior Kobe Villeneuve recorded career-best back-to-back finishes to lead the Alpine ski team in the slalom on day two of the Bates College Carnival at Sunday River on January 11. Nolan clocked in with a two-run time of 1:45.13 to finish 17th, while Villeneuve finished in 1:45.24, good for 18th.
