For the Saint Mary’s University track and field teams, Saturday’s St. Olaf Ole Open was the Cardinals’ one final tune-up prior to next weekend’s Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships.
And if their performances were any indication, the Cardinals are one fine-tuned machine.
The Cardinals put together seven first-place finishes and recorded 23 top-five finishes including three top-five showings by both Kyle Lichttenegger and Mirijana Ganley to place fourth in both the men’s and women’s team standings.
Lichttenegger teamed with Noah Anderson, Matt Boone, and Garrett Jackson to win the four-by-100 relay, stopping the clock in 41.62 seconds, before adding third-place showings in the long jump (6.35 meters) and the 200-meter dash (22.17 seconds).
11 runs not enough as SMU softball drops pair (5/12/2021)
With just four Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) games remaining and its offense stuck in neutral the Saint Mary’s University (SMU) fastpitch softball team was in dire need of an offensive pick-me-up.
Which is exactly what the Cardinals got.
The Cardinals mired in an offensive slump following back-to-back shutout losses to Saint Benedict earlier this month finally saw their offense come to life against Concordia College on Saturday afternoon, scoring 11 runs in its conference twin bill.
Problem was, five runs in the first game and six in the second would not be enough, as Concordia used a pair of big, late-game innings to deal the Cardinals 7-5 and 10-6 setbacks at Jake Christiansen Stadium.
