    The Saints This Week!

    No. 5 nationally-ranked men’s lacrosse team continued their unbeaten start to the season, with a record of 10-0, with two Liberty League wins. They defeated Skidmore, 14-6, on the road, thanks to six goals from Ben Hutchinson '24. The Scarlet and Brown also beat No. 8 ranked Union, 12-6, thanks to four goals from Judge Murphy '24 who tallied his 200th career point during the contest. 

    The Saints women’s lacrosse team earned their first two wins of the year, starting off 2-1 in league play. They took down Vassar, 14-7, as three different players tallied hattricks before defeating Bard in an impressive 18-4 victory, where five players scored two or more goals. 

    Saints softball returned to the North Country winning three games in style as the team is outperforming their 2023 season record, with a little more than a month still to be played. The team swept cross-town rivals SUNY Canton in a doubleheader, Friday afternoon, as Isabelle Wilson '27, Layne Fritz '26 and Olivia Caporale '26 combined for a no-hitter in the first game. They then split two games with Oswego the next day, running away 9-4 in the second game, setting their record at 8-5. 

    The Saints track and field teams hosted the "Saints Ice Breaker" where the men’s team recorded 13 victories, across all events, enroute to a first-place finish. The women’s squad used strong performances in the middle and long-distance events to earn a second-place finish in the field.
