Spring Break
After what began as a very promising start to this season for the baseball team, they have now lost an unbearable 14 of their last 16 games. This marks the first time under coach Brady's tenure that the team has unraveled so quickly. This past weekend only added salt to the wound as the team lost four games in a row to conference rivals Northern Kentucky, a team which has never beaten the Rivermen in four straight until now.
The UM-St. Louis Inline Hockey Team fell short at the National Tournament in Ft. Collins, Colorado on April 16. Sixteen of the nation's best teams were invited to compete. UM-St. Louis lost in the opening round to Hofstra University by a score of 7-6, despite leading 6-5 late in the third period.
The UM-St. Louis men's tennis team finished their season this weekend with a fourth place finish at the conference tournament. The finish is one position lower than the last three years. Coach Rick Gyllenborg was pleased with the effort, despite not reaching the Regional Tournament.
The UM-St. Louis women's golf team has been playing well of late, racking up two top-five finishes the past two weekends. The team placed third in both the St. Francis Invitational and the McKendree Invitational. UM-St. Louis golfer Lauren Glenn, senior, was able to capture the individual crown at the St.
The UM-St. Louis men's golf squad struggled to a 9th place finish at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament early last week. Standing out above the team's performance however, was the play of junior Michael Lueders, who finished the event tied for third in the individual standings.
In a recent letter to the editor a member of the UM-St. Louis In-line Hockey team censured The Current for not covering more of their games, seeing as how they win more than any of the varsity sports. The complaint is justified. Something that represents the University well should get some coverage. Our in-line hockey team is the best in their division and deserves credit.
This season has been what one would call inconsistent for the UM-St. Louis softball team, as they have struggled all year to find a rhythm suitable to their game. Over this past week the softball team has started to find that rhythm little by little as they threw out a great effort in splitting two conference doubleheaders.
