Husky Baseball Adds Jacobs
04/22/2012 - 10:00 AM
Huskies baseball head coach Pat Dolan announced Thursday the signing of Maple Grove standout Brady Jacobs.
Jacobs, a senior outfielder/third baseman, is batting .600 for the Crimson this season. He has played varsity baseball since he was in eighth grade.
"Brady is a very big signing for our program," Dolan said. "We think he is a (division one) type of talent who has the potential to become a middle of the order hitter for us in the future. He already has the college-ready size and strength and he just loves the game."
Jacobs also lettered for the Crimson football team as a three-year starter at quarterback. On the gridiron, Jacobs holds records for completions in a career, season and game.

04/18/2012 - 7:00 AM
The SCSU softball team lost a pair of games to #9 MSU-Mankato by identical 2-0 scores on Tuesday afternoon in Mankato, MN.
Game one saw a pitcher's duel between the Mavericks' Kendra Huettl and the Huskies' Kelly Franks. Franks was named the NSIC's pitcher of the week earlier Tuesday afternoon for her no-hitter vs Bemidji State.
Franks lasted six innings, giving up one earned run on eight hits with nine strikeouts, but the SCSU offense couldn't solve Huettl and the Huskies fell 2-0.
Kendra Franks locked horns with the Mavs Courtney McKelvogue in game two and both teams were held hitless until Kelly Olson ripped a double in the top of the fourth. Olson was stranded, however, and the Huskies had only three hits in game two. The final was again 2-0.
The two losses finish out the road portion of the Huskies schedule and their record now stands at 20-28 overall and 6-16 in NSIC competition.

Husky Softball Swept at UMD
04/15/2012 - 11:30 AM
The Huskies softball team’s losing streak reached ten games on Saturday after being swept by the University of Minnesota-Duluth in Duluth, MN.
The Huskies dropped game one 4-1 (box) after the Bulldogs scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning and the Huskies bats fell silent. Kendra Merritt took the loss for the Huskies and fell below .500 on the season (10-11).
The Bulldogs again used early runs to defeat the Huskies in game two, scoring a run in the first and two in the second for a quick 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs held on to win 6-2 (box).
Huskies head coach Paula U’ren sympathized with her team's struggles on Saturday. “In the first inning our pitcher was given no zone and the walks were a result of that. I give Merritt and our defense credit for battling all day against things they couldn't control," U'ren said.
On game two, U’ren noted “Mikayla Hogan put a great swing on the ball and that should have been a two run homerun, but was taken away for a ground rule double, although it was a line drive over the fence from our angle.”
The Huskies losses put their record at 18-26 overall and 4-14 in the NSIC. The team was scheduled to play at Bemidji State Sunday but was in a rain delay at the time of publishing this story.
