The Saints played at New Ulm on Thursday and beat the Eagles 4-3. In singles, Connor Olson at one and Brock Mueller at three lost, but John Foss at two and Kilian Wehde at four clipped the wings of their Eagles opponents.

The St. James A’s opened their home season on Mother’s Day with an impressive 4-0 win over the Hanska Lakers. Two crafty veterans faced off on the mound as the A’s David Krause squared off against the Lakers’ Dayton Larson.

The reason for so many road games was that some of the games postponed earlier in the season were made up as double headers. The Saints played doubleheaders at St. Peter and Waseca, played three tournament games at JCC and capped off the week against defending state champ New Ulm.

Julia Boeve shot the low round for the Saints with a 54. The Coach said, “Julia played very steady golf and did a nice job of keeping the ball low and out of the wind. Jovanna Boeve also played well considering the conditions.”

Schedule of Saints events for the week.

Last week we reported Sam Carlson of St. James was going to play two sports while attending Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter.

His planned major field of study is mathematics education. Founded in 1963, Southwest Minnesota State University experiences continual growth by serving students on-campus, online and around the state.

The Saints look like they’ve found themselves high jumpers for the next couple of years. Complementing Katy Hedlund’s efforts on the girls side, freshman Miguel Gonzalez won the boys high jump with a leap of 6 feet even.

It is the second year in a row that Hildebrandt has won the award for having the highest GPA on the team.

Because several of the boys on the golf team play two sports, the boys team did not field a full team to keep score, but Golf Head Coach Mark Beltz said this about the boys efforts, “Mason Collier continued his hot start by scoring another 43.

“Michaela was a fine player for us during her career. She was very diligent to work on improving her game and she always provided a lot of positive energy to the team environment.”

Carlie Olson, who is working on the clinic, said the coaches at the clinic may be Twins scouts or college coaches who work with the Twins organization. Three or four coaches will run the event.

From Thursday through Tuesday a total of 23 team events were canceled. The tennis team had a match canceled on Thursday, rescheduled the match for Tuesday and had it canceled again.

The Athletic Director said a priority would be to look at ways to make up conference games. He said that double headers for softball might be an option. Usually for conference games, the Saints would play a conference foe at home and then travel to their field to play an away game on another day. Trying to get the two conference games in might mean the Saints will host one team to play a double header or travel to play a double header. One team would lose a home game.
