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.

Today (3/7): Saints Softball Opens Conference Play, Women’s Hoops Battles Vikings in GNAC Semis

Mar 7

Posted by

College softball
Saint Martin’s vs. Northwest Nazarene (DH) – SMU Softball Field – 1:00 PM

Weather permitting, the Saint Martin’s softball teams opens GNAC play in search of a second straight conference title. The Saints are 4-5 overall this season while Northwest Nazarene comes into Lacey at 5-11 overall.


GNAC Women’s Basketball Semifinals at Marcus Pavilion
#6 Saint Martin’s vs. #2 Western Washington – 5:15 PM
#4 Simon Fraser vs. #1 Montana State-Billings – 7:30 PM

The Saint Martin’s women attempt to defend their home court once again when they face the #2 seed Western Washington in the first game of the GNAC Championships semifinals tipping off at 5:15 PM.

The Saints (18-10) pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament on either side so far when they knocked off the #3 seed Alaska Anchorage on Wednesday night. However, the Saints really frustrated the Seawolves this season defeating them twice in the regular season. There is just something about UAA that they figured out. Western Washington (17-9) is a tougher match-up for the Saints and took both regular season meetings, 79-73 in Lacey and 69-52 in Bellingham.

In the second game, the #1 seed Montana State-Billings (23-6) faces #4 Simon Fraser (18-8). The Clan pulled off the quarterfinals win over Seattle Pacific despite off nights from their two leading scorers, Erin Chambers and Katie Lowen. The Yellowjackets are the top team in the West region and feature Bobbi Knudsen, the GNAC Player of the Year but will be without the services of the GNAC’s top rebounder, Janiel Olson.

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.

Today (3/1): Saints Softball; Wolves and Hawks in Regionals; Saints Men’s Senior Night

Mar 1

Posted by

College softball
Saint Martin’s vs. Northwest (DH) – SMU Softball Field – Noon

The Saint Martin’s softball team opens the home portion of their schedule today when they host Northwest University in non-conference doubleheader action beginning at noon. The defending GNAC champs and NCAA tournament participants are off to a slow start at 2-5 so far this season.


Girls basketball
WIAA Regionals at Tumwater High School – Winner-to-state/loser-out
WF West vs. Bellingham – 2:00 PM
Mary M. Knight vs. Tulalip Heritage – 4:00 PM
Montesano vs. King’s – 6:00 PM


2A WIAA Regionals – Winner-to-state/loser-out
Black Hills vs. White River – Puyallup HS – 6:00 PM

Black Hills faces a tough test in White River (21-5) in the regionals round at Puyallup High School. The Wolves and senior Sarah McGee are 18-5 overall but three of those losses came to the WF West juggernaut. White River won their district with a 48-45 win over Sumner and now has a short trip to Puyallup and will likely have a big crowd advantage because of their proximity and with their boys team playing right after them on the same court. The game can be heard live on 1240 AM and 95.3 FM KGY.


Boys basketball
2A WIAA Regionals – Winner-to-state/loser-out
River Ridge vs. White River – Puyallup HS – 8:00 PM

At 14-10, River Ridge’s record doesn’t look like much. But the Hawks are coming off a pair of loser-out wins in the district tournament that saw Jason Kananin step up and take over. But they get a tough White River team that is 19-7 on the season and won their district. The game can be heard live on 1240 AM and 95.3 FM KGY


Men’s basketball
Saint Martin’s vs. Simon Fraser – Marcus Pavilion – 7:00 PM

The Saint Martin’s men wrap up their season tonight with a very winnable game against Simon Fraser. It will be the last collegiate game for seniors Evan Coulter, Rei Jensen, Matt Dodson, Brad Norman and Kyle Karnofski.

Saints Softball Unanimous Pick to Repeat as GNAC Champs

Jan 22

Posted by

SMUWOUSoftball23
Coming off of their best season in program history, the Saint Martin’s softball team is the unanimous pick to win the 2014 Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship in the GNAC preseason coaches poll released today.

The Saints return two of the top players in the conference, senior second baseman and 2013 GNAC Player of the Year Lacey McGladrey and Sam Munger, the GNAC Pitcher of the Year and reigning batting title holder with a .426 average last season.

And the Saints are setup for years to come with one of the youngest teams in the league. McGladrey is the lone senior on the squad with juniors Munger, Taviah Jenkins, Dani Wall and Division I Farleigh Dickinson transfer Maria Roney, sophomore Megan Miller, a conference honorable mention at third base as a freshman and a strong freshman class that will likely contribute.

The Saints kick off their season on February 1st at Cal Baptist and, fingers crossed for good weather, will play their first home game on March 1st against Northwest University.
