Cardinal fans, there’s plenty to get excited about this upcoming week! Track and field season is here, women’s hockey returns after more than a month off, we have a basketball double-header at home, and we’ll be celebrating a Senior Night.
Women’s Basketball Streak
The Saint Mary’s women’s basketball team is having one of their best seasons in over five years. Currently on a three-game win streak — their first since the 2018-19 season — the team secured victories over Concordia, Augsburg, and Carleton this past week.
The Cardinals (6-6) will face the No. 6 team in the nation, Gustavus Adolphus (13-0), at home on Wednesday, January 15th, with a 7:30 p.m. tip-off. They will then travel to Macalester (7-6) on Saturday for a 3 p.m. tip-off.
Men’s Basketball Splits Week
The Saint Mary’s men’s basketball team (5-9) split their games this week, securing a win over Augsburg at Augsburg, but falling just short in a comeback attempt against Carleton at home after trailing by 13 points.
The team will host Gustavus (11-3), who is 5-0 in conference play, on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. They will then travel to Macalester (4-11) on Saturday for a 1 p.m. game.
Women’s Hockey is Back
After 38 days off, the Saint Mary’s women’s hockey team will return to the ice at nationally ranked Gustavus (8-3) on Friday, January 17, at 5 p.m. They will then wrap up the weekend conference series for Merchants Bank Day, hosting the game at the SMU Ice Arena on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Men’s Hockey Weekend at Home
It was a busy week for the Saint Mary’s men’s hockey team (7-5-1), as they extended their win streak to seven with a dominant victory over Dubuque last Tuesday. However, that streak came to an end at the hands of Gustavus, as the Cardinals were swept in the weekend series.
The team aims to bounce back as they wrap up non-conference play this week. The Cardinals will host Northland (0-14) on Friday, January 17th, and will celebrate their seniors before and after the game. The team will quickly turn around to face UW-River Falls (9-6) on Saturday at 7:05 p.m. in celebration of Merchants Bank Day.
Track Season is Underway
The Saint Mary’s men’s and women’s track teams are excited to kick off their indoor season this Saturday at St. Olaf for the Ole Opener. The field events will start at 10:30 a.m. and track events will start at 11 a.m.
It’s a jam-packed week of sports for Saint Mary’s! Don’t miss out on the action — stay updated with live stats and streaming options. Go Cardinals!
