The St Andrews Baseball team has had a
season that can be described as streaky at best
thus far. While they have had a pair of 4-game
winning streaks, they have also thrown in a pair
of 2-game losing streaks, a 3-gamer, and are cur
rently in a fiink of losing 8 of their last 9.
Overall, the Knights nine are 12-16, with a 5-6
record in the CVAC. Junior Everett Kelly is
leading the team with a .433 batting average and
29 runs batted in, freshman Clifton Allred leads
the team with 7 home runs, and sophomore Will

sophomore Demetrius Jordan, freshman Ryan
Curley, sophomore Anthony Mehling, sopho
more Brad Smith, and freshman Josh Porter.

a 3.89 clip, and has added two complete games
to his stat line. Mehling also has helped the staff
by garnering 3 saves and a 5.75 ERA. The team
faces four 3-game series with CVAC opponents
in the next month, and the home finale is April
21 versus Lander College. Come support the
Knights as they gear up for a stretch run!
Softball
The St Andrews Softball squad has faced
a tough early season schedule and their record
has suffered as a result. They have played a 5-
games-in-2-days tournament at Francis Marion
and have faced 3 nationally ranked opponents
(including #1 Keimesaw State), and as a result
currently hold a record of 7-12. Two of those
wins came in a doubleheader against Bluefield
State on March 15th. Both wins came by a score
of 7-0, with senior Tina Gonsalves pitching the
Lady Knights to a win in the first game and
sophomore Sara Jones doing the duty in the
nightcap. Gonsalves was 2 outs away from a per
fect game in Game 1, as she gave up a bunt sin
gle with 1 out in the seventh inning. Gonsalves
also had a good hitting day, going a total of 4 for
8 with 3 runs scored and 1 batted in. Senior
Tara Thomas had a RBI-double in Game 1, hit
ting 3 for 6 in the pair of games, knocking in 2
runs and scoring 2 as well. The Lady Knights
start their conference play this month, facing 9
CVAC opponents, including the home finale
against Pfeiffer on April 9
Men’s Golf
Hampered by bad weather and injuries,
the St Andrews men’s golf team has had a rough
start to their fall season. The first tournament of
the season at Barton’s Wilson Country Club was
marred by gusty wind and rain on the first day
and tough conditions as a result on both days.
Freshman Alvin Yeung placed 16th overall with a
pair of 77s, while freshmen Do Ha and Sergej
Dronov shot 163. To round out the St Andrews
five players, freshman Corey Fleck shot 165
while sophomore Graham Bell scored 177. The
team placed 6th overall, 35 shots behind the
winning team. Barton. The linksters came back
the next week and played their home tournament
under similar conditions, with steady but light
rain on the first day and steady and at times
heavy rain the second. Yeung again was medallist
for the Knights, coming in 9th overall with an
11-over par 155. Fleck was the next Knight on
the leaderboard, shooting 159 to place 23rd.

to the CVAC tournament, being hosted again by

The fledgling St Andrews men’s tennis
team started strong this year, but is starting to
fade. They are currently on a two-match losing
streak after starting 3-2, including 3-1 against
CVAC foes. The team is comprised of six fresh
men, so the inexperience and tough losses are to
be expected. Joseph Burnett leads the team with
a 3-3 record individually, followed closely by
Daniel Reuben at 3-4 and Jermaine Sadambura
at 2-3. The doubles pair of Reuben and Juan
Carlos Arcila is 4-3. I he team is faced with a

individually, and sophomores Aubrie Beer and
Alden Lye and senior Megan Zarnowiec have
