Saturday twin bill goes way of visiting Benedictine

SIOUX CITY, IOWA – Morningside College's first loop through the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference continued to offer top-notch opposition in men's and women's action Saturday, March 20.

Head coach Jack O'Brien's men's team and head coach Caitlin St. Marie's women's team was defeated by a pair of Benedictine College squads that have caught the National Association Intercollegiate Athletics' pollsters' eyes. The women were beaten 26-0 by the No. 4-ranked Ravens, and the men were stopped 24-0 by a BC bunch receiving votes.

The Maroon received good save numbers from both first-year netminders. Men's keeper Austin Streeter (FR/Sioux City, Iowa) (Sioux City, Iowa) turned in six saves, and Natalie Hunt (FR/Pinedale, Wy.) (Pinedale, Wy.) registered nine. The offense received front billing digits from sophomore women's attacker Lizeth Hilario (SO/Santa Ana, Calif.) (Santa Ana, Calif.), and sophomore men's attacker Brendan Rorabacher (SO/Eagle, Idaho) (Eagle, Idaho) wound up with one attempt and also gathered three ground balls.

Morningside resumes a stretch of three successive home doubleheaders Saturday, March 27. Missouri Valley College visits Tom Rosen Field for noon women's and 3 p.m. men's starts.
