Greetings, Comet Nation!
Our Comet VB team had a busy weekend with 4 games, our CAC Sportsmen’s Raffle was another huge success, our Running Club has a fun group run activity starting this week, plus Comet Football plays this Thursday too!
Comet Volleyball Update:
Our Lady Comets traveled to Iowa for another series of games in the Red Raider Classic at Northwestern College. They started off Friday with a very tough and close match against Dakota Wesleyan. After falling in the first set, the Comets took the 2nd one in a 25-23 battle. The third set had DWU taking that one, while the 4th set went all the way to a 29-31 score, with DWU coming up with the overall victory in the end.
The Comets fell in three straight in their 2nd match of the day against host team Northwestern College. Scores were 10-25, 19-25, and 10-25 as the Comets struggled to come up with some solid offense.
Saturday’s games were against Briar Cliff and Morningside. The Comets hung with BC in their battles but came up shy in 20-25, 22-25 and 22-25 scores. Finishing up with weekend with Morningside, the Comets couldn’t get things firing right in the first set, falling 8-25. Sets 2 and 3 were identical as well, falling in 18-25 scores in each. Grab all the stats from the weekend in the recaps found at MSUComets.com.
Next action for the Comets will be down in Omaha, Nebraska over the Labor Day Weekend coming up.
Sportsmen’s Raffle Another Huge Success:
The CAC’s 11th Annual Sportsmen’s Raffle was held once again this year at the Mayville Armory, where a complete sell-out happened for the 500 raffle tickets, in which 50 guns were raffled off. A Polaris Ranger ATV was also given away, along with side raffles of cash prizes, gift cards, a gun safe, and many other hunting gift packages. Thanks to all who supported the CAC Sportsmen’s Raffle this past weekend from both near and afar!
Go on a COMET Run with the Running Club!
Something new for students to try this year is the Running Club’s “COMET Run”. COMET stands for Course and Obstacle Metabolic Exercise Training. Members will start at the campus center parking lot by Berg Hall and run over to a nearby park. They will go through a series of exercises in interval fashion, using various pieces of park equipment and other obstacles.
The Running Club will meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:30am to go through this fun circuit, and try to wrap things up around 7am. Running Club invites other faculty, staff and students who want to take in this fun and free workout!
MSU Running Club is also open to those interested in competing collegiately in XC and/or Track & Field as an individual, unattached athlete. Since MSU does not have a full XC or Track squad, students who have an interest in those sports can choose to compete as individuals, running ‘unattached’ from their college. For more information on how to compete this way, please contact Rick Karboviak at Richard.karboviak@mayvillestate.edu
We’re just a few days away from Comet Football starting their first game of the season! We’ll play down at Buena Vista University this Thursday night at 6pm. Coach Thom and his entire crew have been waiting for this week since they came onto campus back on August 6th for fall camp. I’m not sure yet if the game will be broadcast via radio or online yet, so stay tuned for an update!
Hail To Our Comets!
