Sports in :60 – Dec. 11, 2023

This weekend the St. Thomas men’s basketball team earned their third win in a row… with Brooks Allen and Ben Nau scoring seventeen points each.

Head coach Johnny Tauer says “To get to come back here at almost two years after our first division one game is a marker of how much we’ve progressed”.

St. Thomas has their next test on Thursday, December 14, as they prepare to play against Marquette.

St. Thomas’s hockey team won 2-1 against the Mavericks, with their fortunes changing in the final period for the tommies… who turned their fourteen to nine shots on edge to a two-goal three-minute sequence.

You can watch the Tommies play next on December 29, after their 20-day leave… against Vermont.

Concluding the Tommies win for the weekend, the women’s basketball team won against Purdue, scoring 64-59. Tommie Jo Langbehn made history this Saturday by being the first player in the Division 1 era to post a perfect goal percentage, as she scored thirteen points.

Watch the Tommies against the Wisconsin Badgers in their upcoming home game on Wednesday.
