SAINT MARTIN’S
Cross country: The Saints won the men’s team title with 26 points at the four-team invitational at Fort Steilacoom Park, hosted by the University of Puget Sound on Saturday. Seniors Spencer Hunt (25:26) and Kyle Van Santen (25:27) finished first and second, respectively in the men’s 8K race. Joe Berger (27:02) and Joseph Patti (27:22) finished fifth and sixth. For the women, junior Joscelyn Minton took the lead at the two-mile mark and pulled away with a winning time of 24:02 in the women’s 6K race. Erika Copeland (25:14) finished eighth to round out the top-10 placers.
“We had some great performances today,” Saints coach Julie Sullivan said. “Joscelyn, Spencer and Kyle all looked easy today, and our guys all packed well to take the team title. We had some nervous freshman out there before the race who all ran with determination and heart, and it was great to see.”
Men’s soccer: The Saints, champions of the GNAC in 2009, got off to a rough start Thursday, dropping its season opener to Cal State LA, 6-0, but rebounded Saturday with a 1-0 victory over UC San Diego in La Jolla, Calif. Austin Kelley scored the game's only goal off a rebound from a deflection by UC San Diego goalkeeper Josh Cohen in the 83rd minute for the Saints' first win.
Women’s soccer: SMU dropped its first two games to begin the 2011 season over the weekend. The Saints fell to Cal State LA, 2-0, Thursday afternoon, followed by a 1-0 defeat to Point Loma Nazarene on Saturday.
Volleyball: The Saints went 1-3 at the Humboldt State Invitational, which ended Saturday in Arcada, Calif. SMU freshman Kristyn Ross, a 2011 Capital graduate, led the way offensively for the Saints.
