The focus for our team this season is on trust, accountability, and communication. This will not only be a focus for us on the ice, but in our everyday lives. By strengthening ourselves as individuals, we strengthen the team, and our program. I am extremely proud of the team dynamic we have created from athletes achieving and excelling on the ice, in the classroom and in the community.

Because being a Cardinal Athlete is about developing excellence on and off the ice, we are particularly proud of our student-athletes' academic accomplishments this past year. A whopping 70 Saint Mary's University student-athletes earned Academic All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference recognition for the winter-spring semester. Of those 70 student-athletes, eight were athletes on the women's hockey team.

Your support has been instrumental in helping us accomplish our goals and fulfill our student-athletes' academic and athletic needs. I am tremendously grateful for friends and family like you who support our Cardinal student-athletes, and hope you will continue that tradition of support for our team again this year.

Your generosity and support are integral resources to help our student-athletes be at their best in competition or the classroom. Whether with a gift or cheering us on, thank you in advance for your support.
