Cavalier Classic Recap – Fighting through the cold rain, the Saints' struggled in all aspects of the game as the undefeated Corban Warriors quickly made work of Saint Martin's 14-1 in five innings to begin the Cavalier Classic.
 
Trailing 5-1 in the fourth inning, the Saints mounted another comeback, highlighted by a three run home run by Sabrina Hicks, and walk-off sac fly from Kylie Lopez in the bottom of the seventh, to win 6-5. After another rough first inning for the Saints, allowing four runs, the pitching turned around and quieted Simpson's bats. The Saints held Simpson to only one run over the next six innings, on two hits with four strikeouts. Hicks delivered the game-tying blow in the fourth, and later scored the game-winning run on Lopez's sac fly to center.
 
Coming into the final day of the Cavalier Classic, the Saints played back-to-back games, falling to Corban to start, before rebounding with a 12-3 victory over Northwest to split the day.
 
Hicks To Another All-Tournament Team - Hicks was named to her second All-Tournament team of the season. Over the weekend, Hicks went 5-for-13 with two home runs, six RBIs, and five runs scored.
 
Sabrina Hicks Named To Desert Stinger Classic All-Tournament Team – The senior started off her final campaign in style, hitting .636 with two home runs and seven RBIs in three games in Vegas. In 11 at-bats, Hicks collected a team-leading seven hits, 13 total bases, and five runs scored. Her two home runs and seven RBIs were tied with Kylie Lopez for the most on the team.
 
Saints Picked Sixth In Preseason Poll - Following their seventh consecutive winning season, and entering the second year under the helm of Jim Peterson, the Saints were voted sixth in the 2019 GNAC Preseason Conference poll. Saint Martin's earned the sixth seed in the highly competitive conference, finishing only one vote behind 2018 surprise team Simon Fraser. The conference looks to be a battle between the Nighthawks (61 votes), and the Wildcats (59) for the top spot. Western Oregon and Western Washington follow behind at third and fourth respectively. Montana State Billings and Concordia round out the bottom of the standings.
 
Season Preview - The Saints return a core of GNAC All-Conference selections from last season, including second team selection pitcher Lauren Maley. In 36 games, Maley went 16-14, with a 3.00 ERA and 52 strikeouts, all of which led her team. In the batter box, the Saints return second team outfielder Lauren Diuco, who hit .310 on the season, with 40 hits, and was a perfect 18-for-18 on the base paths.
 
Adding to the core is senior shortstop Sabrina Hicks and her .284 batting average, two home runs and 20 RBIs. Nicki DeHan returns at third base with an impressive .313 batting average, 18 RBIs and 40 hits.
 
Rounding out the returners for the Saints include senior Alyssa French, outfield, a trio of catchers in Kylie Lopez, Devyn Connolly, and Julia Lucas, along with outfielders, Regan Byrd, and Emery Norwood. In the circle, the Saints also return Jessica O'Toole.
 
Saint Martin's replaces four seniors, including first team All-Conference selection Lindsay Miller, along with Kim Nelson, Tessani Dixon, and Taylor Wolf.
 
Jim Peterson added seven new players, made up of four freshman and three transfers. Brandi Schoessler (Walla Walla CC), and Kimberlyn Tutt (Bellevue College) will add depth in the pitching staff, while Emily Thornton will play in the infield. The freshman class includes Kylee Vanderbout (Happy Valley, Oregon), Trinity Favela (Ewa Beach, Hawaii), Trinity Loeb (Happy Valley, Oregon), and Gianna Marchese (Seattle, Washington).
