20 Questions with a Saints Athlete



20 Questions with a Saints Athlete: Angela Gelhar 



             
Coming off of a game last week where she scored 20 in a win over The University of Alaska Fairbanks, Angela Gelhar and I had the opportunity to chat in Harned Hall in between classes on Wednesday. Gelhar, a native of Vancouver, Washington and Prairie High School, followed in her sister’s footsteps when she decided to come to Saint Martin’s University and play basketball. Although she came to the same university as her sister, Angela is making her own mark as a student-athlete providing a much needed spark for the Saints who have a record of 11-9 going into a big game at Montana State Billings University on Saturday.
