The St. Olaf women's hockey team fell to St. Thomas 6-2 last Friday in MIAC playoff semi-final action. The loss brings the Oles' overall record to 15-10-1 on the season.
Ohio State's Greg Oden and Texas' Kevin Durant lead the best freshman college basketball class since 1979-80, when Ralph Sampson, Sam Bowie, James Worthy, Isiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins and Clark Kellogg took the college basketball world by storm.
Momentum, the old baseball adage says, is today's starting pitcher. St. Olaf's Todd Mathison '09 proved the baseball gods right Tuesday afternoon at the Metrodome, hurling a complete game gem and allowing the Oles to earn a split with the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
Last Thursday through Saturday, St. Olaf's Tostrud Center hosted the MIAC Indoor Track and Field meet, though the men's host squad, coached by Bill Thornton, finished just seventh out of 11 teams. St. Thomas easily won the event, with 205 points, nearly four times St. Olaf's total. Last year, St. Olaf finished fourth at the MIAC championships.
