  • SCC softball snaps skid, wins four

    One of the longest losing streaks in the history of St. Catharine College softball, a 10 game skid, happily came to an end last week for Holly Smith’s team. And the losing streak was replaced by a four-game winning streak as the Patriots record went to 16-18 overall.

    The Patriots began the week with four Mid-South Conference losses to Cumberland (Tenn.) and Campbellsville before sweeping visiting Union College in a non-conference doubleheader. They finished the week with a sweep at conference rival Rio Grande to go 4-4 for the week.

This was UofL’s year and there wasn’t much that was going to stop them.

    There’s no university hotter right now, honestly. They just locked up a long coveted men’s basketball title and the women’s team may be right behind them, depending on Tuesday’s result after press time.

    The Rev. John Judie, a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville, first went to East Africa on a six-month sabbatical in 1994. Ever since, he has returned each year to the motherland to do mission work.
