Last Week's Recap - Western Washington's early goal in the first half was enough to endure the Saints' comeback attempts in a 1-0 result on Thursday at Saints Field.

Making History – Madsen entered 2019 just two goals away from breaking the school record for most career goals. History was made on September 12 against Pacific. Madsen eclipsed Xan Nixon's record of 30 goals, which had stood since 2011.
 
Saints Named Team Of The Week – The week of September 15-21 was one for the record books as the Saints clinched three critical victories over Academy of Art, Stanislaus State, and Lubbock Christian. For their efforts, the Saints were named the GNAC Team of the Week.
 
Madsen Named GNAC Player of the Week - Brandon Madsen could not be stopped by three different teams. The senior, a week after breaking the school record for most goals scored in a career, added another six in the three matches, and was named the GNAC Athlete of the Week.
 
One Of A Kind Scoring Threat – Entering conference action, Madsen's nine goals ranked first in all of NCAA Division-II. His nine goals were also more than three teams' totals in the GNAC at the time. Entering the week, Madsen leads the conference with 15 goals, 33 points, and is second with 47 shots.
 
Nothing But Net For Madsen – Entering the 2019 season, Madsen has scored 29 goals in just two seasons. His 29 goals are third most in all of Division-II for returning players, and ranks first in conference.
 
Navarro With The Helping Hand – Entering 2019, Sebastian Navarro had already etched his name at the top of the Saints' record book with 21 assists. After averaging 10 assists each of the last two seasons, Navarro looks to become the all-time leader in GNAC history, currently held by Alex Rowley of Simon Fraser with 26. On the year, Navarro currently has four, placing him one away from a share of the conference record.
 
Can't Stop The Saints From Marching – Entering the week, the Saints' offense reigns supreme. In 16 matches, the Saints have scored 35 goals, which is seven more than the second most team in the conference. SMU also leads the GNAC in points (98), and shots (219), and is third in assists (23).
 
Seven Saints Named To GNAC All-Academic Team - With his third appearance, goalie Dylan Shaw headlined the seven Saints selected to the 2019 GNAC All-Academic Team, including Collin LaBranche, Treyson Ramos, Sebastian Navarro, Nick Phillips, Jason Fairhurst, and Iovani Rodriguez-Perez.
 
Posting A Clean Sheet – Saint Martin's shutout over Adams State was the first since SMU blanked Concordia on October 13, 2018. The defense followed it up with another shutout performance against Pacific, marking the first back-to-back shutout victories since 2010.
 
10 in a row – Starting with the Saints' equalizing goal against Regis, followed by five goals vs Adams State and finishing with four more against Pacific, the Saints scored 10 straight unanswered goals. 10 straight marks the longest run in school history.
 
Saints Picked Third In Preseason Poll - Gathering 32 votes overall, the Saints stand poised near the top of GNAC standings, with unanimous favorite Simon Fraser (49 votes), and Western Washington (38) taking the top two spots. Following the Saints was fourth place Seattle Pacific (29), Montana State Billings (23), Concordia (16), and lastly Northwest Nazarene (9).
 
2019 Saints At A Glance - Seniors Madsen and Navarro look to close out their historic careers with an equally historic season. Madsen, who is second all-time in school history in goals (29), and third all-time in points (63), led the team last year in every offensive category. His 13 goals, and 30 points helped Madsen to his second first team All-Conference and second All-Region selection awards. In the midfield, the Saints will be anchored by four-year starter Navarro, who is the program's all-time leader in assists at 21. In 2018, Navarro punched in six goals, with nine assists for 21 points as the Saints won nine games, the most since 2011.
 
Returning to help lead the charge will be All-Conference players Cayman John and Jose Marquez in the back line. John saw an offensive explosion in his sophomore campaign, scoring six goals, with four assists. Marquez played in all 18 matches, accruing over 1,600 minutes and helping the Saints to two shutout victories.
 
Saint Martin's also brings back many key contributors from last year, including forward Jason Fairhurst, defenders Stephen Todd Murray JR, and Collin LaBranche, along with midfielder Nick Phillips. The four combined for over 5,500 minutes of action last year, and contributed three goals and four assists.
 
The Saints will have to replace All-Conference forward Alexis Lopez and goalkeeper Griffin Small. However, with eight returning starters, four of which were All-Conference selections, the Saints looked poised to make a run at the top of the always difficult GNAC conference.
