Saints women take twin bill at tournament

The Carroll College Saints won both games of their first doubleheader in program history Saturday, beating the University of Alberta-Augustana 81-58 and Concrodia 85-50 at the Northern Classic in Havre.

The Saints, who were stranded at a hotel on the outskirts of Havre on Friday, were forced to play a doubleheader after their game with Augustana was postponed due to inclement weather.

The two wins were the Saints' last two non-conference opponents before conference season and improve Carroll to 11-5.

"I don't know what happened today. I think the girls were just really excited to get out of the hotel," Saints head coach Shawn Nelson said. "I was really worried about the fatigue of playing two games, but it didn't bother us at all." Story
