The Saint Martin’s softball team split a non-conference doubleheader with future GNAC-mates Concordia this afternoon at the SMU Softball Field. Concordia held down the Saints offense in game one to take a 3-1 victory while the Saints had to make a late inning comeback in game two to take a 7-5 win.
Megan Miller and Taviah Jenkins each had a pair of hits and Jackie Schmaeling drove in the lone run in the game one loss. Sam Munger pitched seven innings without an earned run but got the loss after an error in the fifth inning opened the door for three Cavalier runs.
In game two, Concordia opened up a 5-1 lead in the top of the third but the Saints ran off the next six runs including four in the bottom of the sixth inning to bring their record back to .500 at 13-13. Dani Wall doubled in a pair of runs in the third inning and Jenkins and Lacey McGladrey each had RBI base hits in the sixth. Kaylee Lawson went the distance to pick up the win for the Saints.

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.

Former KJR host Mike Gastineau, AKA The Gasman, will be signing copies of his new book “Sounders FC: Authentic Masterpiece” at a book party at Anthony’s Homeport in Olympia tonight from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Joining The Gasman at Anthony’s will be Olympia native and retired superstar goalkeeper Kasey Keller.
“Through interviews with key executives, athletes and fans, author Mike Gastineau tells the story leading up to the launch of Sounders FC,” reads a synopsis of the book on Amazon.com, “the MLS expansion franchise whose seemingly overnight success has captured the attention of the Seattle sports community, sports and entertainment executives, soccer followers across the country and the national news media.”

Saint Martin’s 68, Northwest 30 – Recap
With 4:14 left to play, Katie Anderson hit a three pointer to put Lewis & Clark up 71-68 over Evergreen at the CRC Gymnasium. But the Geoducks finished the game on a 16-4 run to upset the NCAA Division III’s 17th-ranked team, 84-75. The Geoducks shot 52.4% from the field and had five players score in double digits including Kiemba Pearson’s 17 points off of the bench.
Sadee Jones and Jessica Denmon scored 15 and 14 points respectively and Brittany Gray added 13 with eight rebounds. Sammi Clark went scoreless in the first half but chipped in 11 points in the final 20 minutes to go along with six assists.
Evergreen won their third game in a row and are 3-2 this season.

Saint Martin’s gave up just 30 points tonight, the least amount of points they have allowed since they jumped to NCAA Divison II, to waltz to a 68-30 win over Northwest University at Marcus Pavilion. The Eagles committed 32 personal fouls and the Saints made 24 of 37 free throws while Northwest shot just four free throws all evening.
The Saints hit eight three pointers, three each from Angela Gelhar and Jordyn Richardson, who scored 14 and 11 points respectively. Ciara Pedroni and Chelsea Haskey tallied 11 points each and Liz Mills added 10.
Northwest kept it close in the early going and led 10-9 with just eight minutes gone but were held scoreless over the next five minutes and the Saints went on a 27-5 run over a 12 minute span to close out the first half.
Just like Evergreen, Saint Martin’s has won three straight games and is 3-1 this season.

Saint Martin’s 64, Cal Baptist 55 – Box score
Evergreen 63, Linfield 56 – Recap
Chelsea Haskey recorded a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Saint Martin’s to a streaky 64-55 win over Cal Baptist at Marcus Pavilion.
Haskey opened the scoring with a three pointer at the 17:42 mark of the first half and the Saints never trailed again. The Lancers cut the lead to two once in the second half when Chanel Cambronero’s three cut the Saints lead to 16-14 with just under ten minutes left in the half. But SMU went on a 16-8 run and the half ended with the Saints up 32-22.
Megan Wiedeman stepped out to hit from downtown and the Saints opened up a 15 point lead with just four minutes gone in the second half. But the Lancers finally found some energy when they switched to a full court press and went on an 18-6 run capped off by Kamille Diaz’s free throw that cut the Saints lead to three at 47-44.
But Saint Martin’s weathered the storm and went on a 14-3 run of their own over the next seven minutes and never looked back to record their second win of the season, 64-55.
Krista Stabler scored 10 points off the bench and Angela Gelhar scored eight points, all from the free throw line, for the Saints.
Both teams shot an identical 19-of-61 (31.1%) from the floor but the Saints made 22 free throws while Cal Baptist made just 11 of their 20 attempts.
Diaz and Elise Shelton each scored 15 points for the Lancers.

Brittany Gray scored 17 points and pulled down 11 boards and Sammi Clark added 14 points in Evergreen’s 63-56 win over Linfield in McMinnville, Oregon. The Geoducks held a 22-7 advantage on points off of turnovers and a 25-12 advantage on second chance points to pick up their second win of the season.

Saint Martin’s vs. Cal Baptist – Marcus Pavilion – 7:00 PM
The 1-1 Saints women return to the Marcus Pavilion court after nearly two weeks off when they take on Cal Baptist tonight at 7:00 PM. SMU last played on November 9th when they picked up a 74-56 win over Notre Dame de Namur in Monmouth, Oregon.
Cal Baptist won the PacWest last year finishing with a 26-5 record but the Lancers return just one player from last year’s squad. Despite a virtually all new team, they are picked to finish third in their league and currently sit at 2-1.
You can watch tonight’s game with me, Brandon Sparks, on the call on the Saint Martin’s website.
Josh Phillips Named WCC Defender of the Year
Josh Phillips, a 2010 graduate of Capital and currently a senior at Gonzaga University, was named the West Coast Conference’s Defender of the Year today. From GoZags.com…
“Phillips (Olympia, Wash.) joins Nick Barclay in 2008 as the only other Bulldog to earn Defender of the Year accolades. A mainstay on the Bulldog defense he was instrumental in Gonzaga allowing opponents just 0.95 goals/match. The 10 wins for the Bulldogs this season marked the first double-digit wins season since 2000, and Gonzaga’s 5-4-3 WCC record for third place is the highest finish since 2008. He earned All-WCC second-team honors in 2011.
Phillips said it’s a great honor to be chosen.
‘I was pretty excited when I heard the news. It’s a great honor to be recognized with this award, not only for me but as a program we really turned things around this year. It’s been a wonderful ride this year.'”
Gonzaga went 10-6-3 overall this season and finished in third place of the WCC at 5-4-3 behind Loyola Marymount and Santa Clara. The Zags did not receive an at-large berth to the NCAA Championships on Sunday.
Phillips is the second local alum honored in Division I soccer. Tumwater grad Abbey Bergquist was named the Big Sky’s Newcomer of the Year. She made 16 starts for Portland State and scored a pair of goals with a pair of assists.
