Magnificent Monday: More Wins Plus an All-American Selection!

Greetings, Comet Nation!

Our Comet Teams collected some more wins to finish the week out strong in Arizona, plus we found out on Friday evening that our WBB team has an All-American Honorable Mention athlete on it’s squad!

Softball:

Our Lady Comets played 4 games to finish out their week, splitting the set of 4 with 2 wins and 2 losses. The Comets won first over Hamline, 9-5, then fell to Midland later in the day in a 7-5 loss.

Friday’s action had battles with Robert Morris again as well as Benedictine-Mesa. They fought to a 4-2 victory over RM and fell to a hot-hitting Benedictine-Mesa team in an 11-1 loss. Overall, they went 6-4 on the trip, which boosts their overall record to 7-11 on the season thus far.

Baseball:

The Baseball team played a doubleheader against Carthage College on Friday to complete their Arizona tour. The first game went into extra innings, first at 5-5, then 6-6, and finally 7-6 in favor of the Comets.

The second game wasn’t quite as close, as we lost in a 10-4 score.

A huge congratulations goes out to #42, Andi Gayner on the Lady Comets Basketball team!

She’s been selected as an NAIA All-American, Honorable Mention selection!

Coming off a stunning season where the Junior from Dassel, MN was the NSAA leading scorer (19.1 pts/game) and almost averaging a double-double (7.9 boards/game), Andi’s talents have taken her far this season.

She recorded many double-double games and was the NSAA Player of the Week twice.

She’ll undoubtedly help lead the Lady Comets as a high performer next season for her final one as a Comet.

A Job Well Done, Andi Gayner!

Terrific Tuesday!

Greetings, Comet Nation!

I hope you had a nice little break this past weekend, and that you had a chance to catch the Comet Men win their game on Saturday night!

I also have some exciting news about one of our WBB players being named NSAA Player of the Week, too!

———-

Last Saturday evening, our Comet Men came out with an edge and dominated a scrappy team from Sliver Lake College.  We almost hit the century mark in points, coming out with a 96-63 victory.

It was a strong effort to start with, as we blasted to a 17-2 lead and never really let up after that.

Chuck Robinson had another stellar night with a double-double of 25 points and 13 boards. Two other Comets were in double figures: Darnell Landon had 17, plus Antar Johnson with 12.

The Comets are now 10-7 and face off against Dickinson State on Wednesday night at home!
