Welcome back Saint Martin's!

It's that time of year again Saints fans! With classes now in session as of Monday and fall practices that began last week, we are now in full swing here on campus. Men's and women's soccer has had a couple scrimmages so far this fall and volleyball opens up competition tonight with a scrimmage at Pacific Lutheran University. Cross country has been working hard as well around campus.

One thing to look forward to this fall sports season is the addition to two of the new head coaches within the athletic department. Recently hired cross country head coach Jason McConnell will lead both the men's and women's teams and Kara Peterson will take over the helm of the volleyball squad.

For those of you who are new to my blog, my name is Kyle Karnofski and I am a senior English major at SMU. I am working this school year as an intern in the athletics office and I will be covering the student-athlete side that is rare for some outsiders to see. Along with working to complete my degree, I am also a member of the SMU men's basketball team and an avid Saints sports fan. So if anyone has a good idea for a story or know of something interesting worthy of a blog post, don't hesitate to send me an email or stop me and share the idea.

Good luck to all the Saints this year, both academically and athletically and look for more insights surrounding Saints athletics in the posts to follow.
