The Carletonian

Guns were blazing, rain was falling, and races—unfortunately—were not starting on time at last Friday’s meet against the University of St. Thomas. From the beginning, the officials had difficulty with the starting system, which is usually connected to the starting gun. As Aaron Hirsh ‘13 described it, “Rotblatt looks like clockwork compared to this fiasco.”

The Carleton College offense got rolling late in game one and it carried over the momentum to game two as the Knights baseball team swept a doubleheader against Augsburg College, 9-3 and 8-2.The victories extended Carleton’s win streak to five games, its best run since a five-game in April 2009.

This week the Knights showed few signs of straying from their winning routine, first defeating St. Olaf 8-1 at home and following up with a match against Luther College over the weekend.

Carleton College and visiting St. Olaf College were both undefeated in conference play heading into Wednesday’s showdown on the Bell Field Tennis Courts. The Knights posted a 7-2 victory and join Gustavus Adolphus as the lone remaining undefeated squads in the MIAC.

Unfortunately, since the Knights went to a split day meet, they had to endure split-day squads last weekend. Despite the division, the Knights excelled in their events.

With rain, wind and threats of Earth-shattering thunderstorms, Eclipse Women’s Ultimate Frisbee handily beat their competition and took first place in the Regional Championships.
