DULUTH, Minn. – The UMAC softball tournament begins on Thursday and St. Scholastica is ready to make another deep run. The Saints captured their 21st regular season title and will host the action this week.
CSS leads the UMAC in most batting and pitching categories and are second in fielding percentages. The Saints did drop their final two regular season nonconference games, but have spent the past week going back to the basics and getting refreshed and recharged.
“We went into this practice and were like, hey, we’ve got to get better, we want to be coming out for the wins again so we’ve been taking it very seriously like going in, getting a bunch of reps in hitting and simple defense and getting more reps and getting more comfortable and gaining that confidence back,” junior pitcher Olivia Howe said.

DULUTH, Minn. – The St. Scholastica softball team kicked off their season last week with a pair of sweeps against Crown and Northland College. The Saints have also started this season with a bang, literally.
Former Hermantown softball coach Tom Bang has joined the Saints coaching staff for the 2021 season. Bang spent over 40 years with the Hawks, before stepping down in 2018. Now he says he’s excited to be back on the diamond to help out at a new level.
“I haven’t been an assistant ever in the world of softball. Now I don’t have to plan practice. I just show up. This represents normalcy, whereas a lot of other things are far from normal so it’s been a real blessing in that respect,” Bang said.
