Soccer

Both the men’s and women’s teams had two games scheduled this week but were only able to play one due to weather. They took on the MacMurray Highlanders which the men beat last time 5-1 and the women recorded a tie. The women’s team were not so luck this time being defeated by a score of 1-5. The revenge game could not carry over on the men’s side as the Spalding Golden Eagles once again showed they were one of the top teams in conference by posting a 4-0 win.

Golf

The women’s golf team wrapped up their fall this past weekend when they competed in the Wittenberg Invitational. The field showed to be the largest the team has played in all year with 17 different schools competing. Aubrey Pohlman shot rounds of 98 and 103 to secure 68th place while Erin McDaniel shot rounds of 160 and 145 to come in 95th place. The team will not break for the winter and begin competing in matches once again come the spring.

The Men’s team competed in the Maryville Fall Invitational where they finished 8th. Their top golfer for the weekend was Senior, Andrew Flynn who recorded scores of 82 and 77 which put him 26th place overall. Sean Hennessey finished right behind Flynn with scores of 79 and 82 which placed him 29th overall. The men’s team is also done for the Fall and will resume matches once again in the spring.
