____________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 Saints basketball ready to begin season Lady Saints have g The women’s basketball program is back! The 2007-2008 program will bring energy, zeal, and spirit on the court; while at the same time bringing entertainment and fun to those watching. “This should be a real promis ing year,” said senior post Tiffany Rochelle. “We have great returning players for both our outside game and inside game.” For the last three years the saints have lead the country in both 3-point percentage and points earned from 3-point shots. The Saints should be able to continue this success with the team’s return ing outside players. Returning all-conference play ers Jolene Fuzesy and Laci High, and co-freshman of the year Elly Bruursema, will bring their knowl edge for success back to the floor. Danielle Maloney is back after a year off, caused by a knee injury, and will bring the ability to create plays for the Saints. Starting point guard Caitlin Courchaine is also back for the Saints, and is expected sat team chemistry to have another amazing season. Though the team lost their starting posts, Amy Brooks and Sophi Forney, the team will not miss a step with Tiffany Rochelle, Hannah Heidenreich, Nikki Mills, Shannon Bosley, and freshmen Sara Meyer ready to play. These players show potential to do great things for the Fighting Saints in the middle, and help lead the team to triumphs. “The team has great chemistry this year. It has been a fun season so far, I cannot wait to see what we will do,” says Rochelle. With the women crushing the University of Regina by 21 points, this weekend was a great success, and if this last weekend was any indication to what their year is going to be like they have nothing to worry about for the rest of the season. The women’s basketball pro gram is going to have an exciting year; so go watch the excitement and cheer on your Fighting Saints when you can. Men bring six new The men’s basketball program may have some new faces, but their goals and aims for the 2007- 2008 season are the same. “This year we have a chance to do good things. Our six new faces, three transfers and three freshmen, brought depth to our bench in all positions,” says junior Chris Kaschmitter. With the depth the team has received from the six newest players, along with four returning starters Chris Kaschmitter, Gage Brumwell, Chad Vaculin, and Eric Henkel, the Saints are ready to take on the Frontier Conference. “We don’t cut comers, we work hard every practice and know that with everyday we are closer to the season we want,” says Kaschmitter. The Saints’ hard work and drive will help push them towards the season they know they can have. Each player has practiced their role and is ready to take on the challenge that is being set in front of them. Besides being good faces to the team players with superb skills, they are also good teammates. “Our team has a great team chemistry. We get along both on and off the court,” says Kaschmit ter. The team realizes it is impor tant to be friends and get along off the court to help their success on the court. With the team having the repertoire they do, the Saints are able to read where the other is going to be and how others are go ing to play. This ability to read one another is just another way to help the Saints succeed on the court. This last weekend the men won their games against University of Regina and Black Hills State. While these are great results the team knows they still have a lot to work on to become the team they want to be. The Saints are headed for a good season, so come out and cheer on your Fight Saints on to victory dur ing their 2007-2008 season.

The Saints golf team finished out the fall season with a bang. The men’s team finished fourth in the Rocky Mountain Invitational, which was their highest finish this season. This season brought success for individuals as well as the team. Freshman Emily Slayton posted a new school record of 77 for an 18-hole round, while the women’s team marked up a 337, another school record. The team finished the fall at a blazing pace, and they hope to continue where they left off. “With the addition of an enthusiastic new coach and some talented freshman, we had an exciting fall season and we’re looking forward to doing even better in the spring,” said junior Kelsey Bjelland. Look for the golf team’s continued success in the spring when they start back up again on March 13 with the Clarkston Invitational in Lewiston, ID.

By JEFF WINDMUELLER Independent Record - 10/28/07 The No. 2 Saints (9-0 overall, 8-0 conference) won the Fron tier Conference Championship outright as they dropped the No. 22 MSU-Northem Lights 10-3 Saturday at Nelson Stadium. This game was no exception as Carroll’s staunch defense held the Lights to 234 yards of of fense and stopped them when it counted most. Meanwhile, the special teams, led by punter Zach Thiry, kept the Saints in the game and in good field position. The Saints managed just 30 more yards of offense than the Lights, but put together two big drives resulting in a field goal by Marcus Miller and touchdown pass from senior quarterback John Barnett to Dan Lovin. Junior running back Sean Her rin was Carroll’s top rusher with 33 yards on 11 carries. Barnett would get 21 yards while both Le and John Camino carried for 14 yards. The Saints secondary played a key role as senior free safety Cody Zimmerman recorded 11 total tackles and Richardson 10. Senior defensive end Phil Lenoue led the defensive line with 10 tackles, a sack and two tackles for a loss of four yards. Junior linebacker Owen Koep- pen, who has led the Saints this season in tackles, had eight with five of those unassisted. He would keep pressure on the Lights fresh man quarterback Garren Hammons and help stop the run game. “Owen Koeppen and Cody Zim merman, those two guys I think they made plays today, they came out of nowhere to make plays,” Van Diest said. The Saints head to Dillon next weekend to face off with UM- Westem and try to remain un defeated on the season before heading into the NAIA national playoffs. The Lights, who are 5-4 overall, 4-4 in conference, have lost any hope of making the playoffs and must prepare for Rocky Mountain College next weekend. Friday, November 2,2007 Volume 01, No 2
