Men's and Women's Cross Country

SUMMARY
WEST ALLIS, Wis. -- PRs were all over the place on a celebratory Saturday near Milwaukee. All but two of the Sabercats' runners - so 13 total - set a new PR on the day while Aleigha Standerwick (South Beloit, Ill.), Ryan Mayer (Lima, Ohio), and Luke Stille (Black Creek, Wis.) all met the individual qualifying time for NCCAA Nationals.

Andrew Dorothy (Janesville, Wis.) was the top headliner, though, as his 8K time of 29 minutes and 23 seconds was good enough for 19th in program history.

QUICK FACTS

• Event: Steve Travis Invitational
• Team Finish (Men): 7th/11 // 176 pts
• Team Finish (Women): 9th/11 // 264 pts
• Venue: Greenfield Park

Women's Soccer

SUMMARY
WATERTOWN, Wis. -- The Sabercats were surprisingly shorthanded against Andrews, as a first-half red card meant that they had to protect a 1-0 lead for over 60 minutes while playing with 10 players. The goal came from Samantha Sipla, who had a creative solo goal in the 10th minute that would prove to be the game-winner.

Men's Soccer

SUMMARY
WATERTOWN, Wis. -- Late-game heroics rescued a point for the Sabercats, who went down early at region rivals Emmaus before scoring two second-half goals to tie 2-2 in Dubuque. Robbie Dodd grabbed his second goal of the season before Boston Faithfull netted his first college goal off an assist from Landon Broere.

The tie was a bid for revenge, which fell short for the Sabercats after a 2-0 loss to Emmaus two weeks prior.
The Sabercats were scheduled to take on Faith on Saturday, but field conditions and travel constraints forced a cancellation of the game.

QUICK FACTS

• Result: Maranatha 2-2 Emmaus
• Venue: Jack Fish Field, Emmaus University
• Event: NCCAA Midwest Region
• Location: Dubuque, Iowa
