Saints Fall To Vikings In Road Loss - The Saints hung close in the first half, with four score ties and six lead changes, but then Western Washington hit the ground running to take the win on their home court Thursday night.
 
Saint Martin's came out in the first half with fire, going neck and neck with the Vikings. However, from what seemed to be a close game quickly ended seconds out of the halftime break. Alex Schumacher was one of three Saints scoring in double-digits with 18 points, followed by CJ Jennings and Logan Rooney with 16 and 13, respectively.
 
Late Rally Not Enough In Road Loss To Simon Fraser - Saint Martin's fell to Simon Fraser 82-74 on Saturday night on the road despite a late rally for a comeback attempt. Two Saints combined for 41 points; however, the Saints still struggled to find an offensive rhythm until it was too late.
 
Saint Martin's (5-22, 3-15 GNAC) never led in the game, but a furious late rally cut the deficit to as few as six points with one minute of action left to play. Simon Fraser (15-12, 8-10 GNAC) regained the momentum and held the Saints to take the victory for their senior night on their home court. CJ Jennings led all Saints in points with 24, while Marky Adams followed with 17 to combine for half of the Saints' points. Saint Martin's shot a solid 54 percent from the floor while holding SFU to 46 percent. However, Simon Fraser had a 44 shooting percentage beyond the arc, where they scored the majority of their first half points, while limiting the Saints to just 33 percent.
 
Malloy Doing It All – The transfer has wasted no time making an impact for the Saints, ranking 13th in the GNAC in scoring (14.0 ppg), and eighth in rebounding (6.6 rpg).
 
Double-Double Threat – Anchoring the middle for the Saints is Marky Adams. In 27 games, Adams has eight double-doubles. He enters the week leading the GNAC in rebounding at 8.3 boards per game, in blocks at 2.0 per game, and leads in field goal percentage at 65.8 percent.
 
Lighting Up The Scoreboard – The Saints' 99 points in the win over Capilano in November, it was the most in a game without overtime since Dec. 9, 2017 when SMU scored 100 against Quest.
 
Picking Your Pocket – Alex Schumacher is not only a threat on the offensive end of the floor, but also on the defensive. The guard leads in steals with 36 steals, and is currently fifth in the GNAC at 1.5 steals per game.
 
Lights Out From Downtown – CJ Jennings has established himself as a premier threat from outside the arc. So far on the year, the junior is averaging 2.7 3-pointers a game, one of only five players in the GNAC to reach that mark.
 
Controlling the Glass – The Saints have proven to be a force on the glass in 2019-20, entering the week fifth in the conference with nearly 36 rebounds per game.
 
Fresh Look For The Saints – 2019-20 brings on a whole new team for the Saints, from the top to the bottom. Head coach Aaron Landon was hired from South Puget Sound Community College to lead SMU in May, 2019. After losing eight seniors, Landon and company brought in 10 new players, including seven freshman.
 
Meet Head Coach Aaron Landon - Landon comes to Saint Martin's after six seasons as the head coach at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington. At SPSCC, Landon transformed a program that finished 2-22 in his first season into a three-time NWAC West Region champion.
 
The Clippers held a top five ranking in the NWAC Coaches Poll from 2015 to 2019 and won three West Region Championships. During this four year span SPSCC went 49-7 in the West Region and 93-26 overall in the NWAC. South Puget Sound reached the postseason each of the last four seasons, earning three number one seeds and two trips to the NWAC Quarterfinals. Landon was voted NWAC West Region Coach of the Year in 2017, 2018 and 2019. In addition to coaching, Landon was an Academic Advisor at taught classes at SPSCC. Landon departs SPSCC as the program all-time wins leader with 102 wins.
 
Starting Off Strong – In preseason, the Saints played two Division-I teams on the road, but that did not affect the freshman Alex Schumacher. Schumacher proved to be difficult for Cal as the guard scored 21 points in only 26 minutes of action.
