Their 8-1 at Martin Luther College on Saturday afternoon in New Ulm, Minn., was their seventh in seven conference outings this season moving St. Scholastica to within one more UMAC victory of yet another perfect league mark.

Will Ruckel (Anoka, Minn./Anoka Senior HS) and Ryan LaCoursiere (Thief River Falls, Minn./Lincoln HS) got the Saints off to a winning start with an easy 8-0 win at 2-doubles while the 3-doubles team of Peter Sparby (North Oaks, Minn./Mounds View HS) and Brady Vidovic (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing HS) rolled to an 8-3 win.

Martin Luther's Daniel Laitinen and Jonathan Kehl notched the lone point of the day for the Knights with an 8-5 win at 1-doubles over St. Scholastica's Scott Hawley (Eveleth, Minn./Eveleth-Gilbert HS) and Brendan Anderson (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata HS), the loss ending a six-match win streak for the Saints pair.

Both players bounced back in singles action for wins though, Hawley exacting some revenge with a 6-0, 6-0 thrashing of Kehl at 2-singles and Anderson rolling over Martin Luther's David Wendland at 6-singles by the same score.

The afternoon win was the team's second of the day and third in two days as they near completion of their road trip to four different UMAC sites in three days.
