The Carleton College women’s tennis team locked up at least a share of its second MIAC regular-season title in three years with a convincing 7-2 triumph at Gustavus Adolphus College on Saturday afternoon. Helping lead the Knights to victory was seneior Anne Lombardi, who prevailed in matches against regionally-ranked competition at first doubles and first singles.

Amelia Cmmpbell won the high jump, Emma Grisanzio was first to the line in the 400-meter dash, and they duo made up half of the Knights’ entry in the 4x400-meter relay that broke the team record. Overall, the Carleton College women’s track and field team finished second at the Carleton Relays.

Marcus Huderle was one of five event winners as the Carleton College men’s track and field team finished first out of 10 teams at the Carleton Relays.

For the second straight doubleheader, the Carleton College Knights let a chance at a sweep slip away but recovered with a solid pitching performance to earn a split. On Saturday, Saint John’s big seventh inning led to the Johnnies claiming a 9-2 victory in the opener, only to see Carleton pitcher Kevin Johnson go the distance to bring home a 3-1 triumph in game two.

Shannon Holden overcame a sub-par ball-striking round, posting a four-over par 77, helping No. 17 Carleton finish in a tie with No. 21 Gustavus Adolphus in a dual match between the two teams. Holden’s score was the low of the day among the two squads and one of only two under 80. The Knights and Gusties both finished with 335 team scores on a wind-swept day at Le Sueur Country Club, Gustavus’ home course.

The Carleton College softball team hosted the University of St. Thomas on Friday afternoon. After struggling to get the bats going in dropping the opener, 3-0, the Knights gave the nationally-ranked Tommies all they could handle in game two before ultimately falling, 8-6 in extra innings.
