Today (3/26): Saints Host Concordia; Game On at The RAC; Bears Soccer Battles Yelm
With the weather like it is and a big band of rain still on the way, the ball and stick games will have a hard time today. Here are the games that will be played and likely will be played thanks to the timing (Saint Martin’s), the somewhat resilient turf fields at The RAC or the ability to play through any crummy weather (soccer). I will update with other games that seem to still be on later.

Friday Scores: Saints Women Can’t Complete Comeback; Saints Softball Takes GNAC Openers

Computer problems tonight. Despite photographing the whole Saint Martin’s/Western Washington game, I am having trouble editing and posting them and writing anything of any length about the game. Just know that it was a great one that saw the Saints make a big comeback only to run out of gas and see their season end.

Senior guard Evan Coulter scored 26 points with eight rebounds in his last game for Saint Martin’s and the Saints exploded in the second half to knock off Simon Fraser, 76-67, in the season finale for both squads.
Riley Carel added 17 points and dropped seven assists including the alley-oop to Tyler Idowu that gave the Saints a much needed boost of energy and gave them the lead, 48-46, with 11:03 left to play. Idowu had his best game scoring eight points with 12 rebounds.
Besides Coulter, four other senior started for SMU. Matt Dodson scored six points with nine rebounds, Rei Jensen added six points with seven boards and Brad Norman and Kyle Karnofski scored three and two points respectively.
The Saints wrapped up their season at 9-17 overall and the 6-12 mark in the GNAC was good enough for eighth place, two spots ahead of where they were picked to finish in the coaches preseason poll.
