Last weekend marked the end of the home basketball season for both the mens and womens teams here at CSS. The women fell in both of their games, while the men won both, Friday night against the University of Minnesota-Morris and Saturday against Presentation College from South Dakota.
The Saints women squad fell 65-58 Friday, in what was a close game the entire way, with Morris finally able to pull away in the final minute. Sophomore Erin Niles led CSS in scoring with 16 points. Saturday four Saints seniors, Jessie Stenberg, Amanda Johnson, Kim Huschle, and Heather Sarahlampi play the final home games of their careers. The night, however, was spoiled due to 43 points from Callie Antonsen of Presentation. She almost single handedly beat the Saints as they fell 62-52.
The men had much better luck this weekend. Friday night CSS won 91-81 in game in which they never trailed. The Saints offense was tough to stop behind 33 points from Derek Johnson and 29 points from Will Maupins, their two senior captains. Saturday night Johnson and Maupins, along with fellow senior, Joe Prettner, beat Presentation 72-59 in their final game in the Reif. The Saints jumped out to an early lead and never let go of it. They were led by Kyle Allen with 16 points and Maupins added 15 points. The victory assured the Saints of a place in the conference tournament this upcoming weekend in Minneapolis, MN.
