We also had Senior, Lauren Maras hit the career 100 points milestone and her first hatty. It was a great night for the Lady Cards.

The Lady Cards put up some great goals, lots of shots, and a shut out on senior night. Oh, and did we mention that we are CLC champs for the first time in over 10 years?

W 6-1 vs St.Cloud Crush

The Lady Cards were able to finish the season with a W last night. It was a battle throughout the 1st and 2nd periods ending with a 2-1 score. The Lady Cards were able to come out flying in the 3rd resulting in a 4 goal period. The final score was 6-1. Goals came from Jada Waldorf (assisted by Courtney Violette), Jersey Severson (unassisted), Zella Noetzelman (assisted by Jisella Haskamp), Sydney Menk (assisted by Katherine Korynta), Courtney Violette (assisted by Alena Maras, and Sophia Wisemen), and Lilly Dutton (unassisted). We would like to give a shoutout to our 3 amazing seniors on the team, Sophia Wisemen, Courtney Violette, and Stella Brown. They have all made a huge impact on our program. They are role models of how to be kind, respectful, and hardworking. We thank them for everything they have done for our team and culture!!

Alexandria 110 St.Cloud Apollo 75

Alexandria won its second meet of the week in a CLC matchup with the Apollo Eagles. The meet gave the coaches a chance to change the lineup to have swimmers compete in events they don't usually swim. Logan Tung won the 200 freestyle and 100 breaststroke. Erik Reineke won the 200 IM and the 100 freestyle. Eric Peterson won the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Andrew Crowser, normally a sprinter, placed third in the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle with season best times. Keaton Dummer placed fourth in the 200 IM and 500 freestyle with season best times. Carson Bumgarner qualified for the section meet in the 100 backstroke. It was a really fun night for the divers. Jackson Bertram remained consistent with a score of 152. Krew Muscha placed second with 172 and Kyler Kavanagh won the diving competition with a score of 191. It was a great meet to wrap up the dual meet season. Next up is the CLC conference meet on Saturday, February 11 at Sauk Rapids.

Alex 80 SRR 39

Alexandria Boys Basketball team defeated the Sauk Rapids-Rice Storm on Tuesday, 80-39. The Cardinals took early control of the game with solid defensive play and unselfish play on the offensive end. A nice spurt in the last 2 minutes of the 1st half created a 22-point lead at the halftime break. The Cards picked up where they left off before half with excellent energy on the defensive end and continued to share the ball for great shots. Cards are back in action on Friday at Willmar.

Alexandria 69 Moorhead 30

The Cardinals were ready to roll from the opening tip as we were in sync defensively and in our rhythm offensively as we jumped all over the Spuds in the first half powered by excellent ball movement, efficient passing and consistent shooting. We went into the locker room leading 47-14. There was zero let down in the second half as everyone was locked in and ready to contribute. Scoring was again balanced, led by MaCee Linow with 17, Hadley Thul 16, Chloe Scholl 12, Allie Haabala 9, Ella Steussy 8, Lauren Beyer 3, and 2 each for McKinley Hoelscher and Camree Miller. Allie Haabala hit the boards bringing down 7 rebounds while Kate Hennessy and Lauren Beyer each tore down 6. Chloe Scholl and Hadley Thul each had 5. Haabala dished out 6 big assists while Steussy and Hennessy each handed out 3. MaCee Linow jumped on 4 steals while Camree Miller had 2. Ella Steussy was disruptive defensively as she had 6 defensive deflections. Great TEAM win! Next action is home on Saturday at 6:30 as we host Orono. WINGS UP!

Top 20 Thinkers and Teams put the work into the journey. They know there is no easy way.

Bottom 80 Thinkers and Teams want instant gratification and the easy way.

Alexandria 42 Moorhead 50

Your Alex Cardinals JV traveled west on I-94 Tuesday night to take on the Spuds of Moorhead. Alexandria battled but ran out of fire power at the end. Lauren Beyer had a good first half slicing through the Spuds defense. Kaia Emter likes her potatoes hot and from behind the arc as she cashed in on 5 three point field goals in the game. In the end, the Spuds were too much for Alex JV as they dropped their second game in a row with a 42-50 defeat.

Alexandria-35 Detroit Lakes-30

Alexandria-37 MAHACA-39

The Cardinals recognized our parents on Thursday night for all the support the provide our program and wrestlers during the season. One last "Thank You" to our parents for all they do to help provide a special season for our wrestlers. We had a couple thriller duals at home again in front of a large crowd. We knew the duals would be close and we were eager to try to break the 3 and 4 year losing streak to both of these teams. In our first dual against DL we won 7 of the 14 weight classes. We were able to get a few more bonus team points in our wins and saved some bonus points in the 7 loses that ended up being the difference in the dual. Nolan Fettig, Drayson Elfering, Mason McGrane, Grayson Timm, Kelly Johnson, and Cody Vatnsdal picked up 6 of the 7 wins. As we got down to the final two weight classes, we knew we had to get one more win and DL's heavyweight was undefeated on the season. We called on 185lb Jordan Nicholson to wrestle in the 220lb weight class. Jordan delivered a huge pin for us in just over one minute of wrestling to secure the dual for us. Blaze Nelson, Gavin Engelbrecht, and Landon Seward also had some hard fought performances in the meet against three of Detroit Lakes best wrestlers that made a big difference in us getting the team win.

In the next dual against MAHACA, we wrestled very tough again as a team. These types of dual meets that put a lot of pressure on the wrestlers to perform as a team have been and will be great experiences for our guys as we near the post-season. The dual saw five lead changes in this back and forth dual through the 152lb weight class. MAHACA had just a little bit too much strength in the top three weight classes and pulled out a 39-37 victory. The Cards head to Little Falls today for a triangular that includes Moorhead. Go Cards!

*Special notes:

-Nolan Fettig is 32-1 record on the season with 18 consecutive wins.

-Kelly Johnson is 26-4 on the season and on an 18 match win streak.

-Mason McGrane is 24-1 on the season with a 10 match win streak.

The Cardinals had an amazing season best performance last night against Sauk Rapids Rice! We had our last home meet/regular season meet of the year. It was also senior night, so Captain Hannah Skillings, Captain Izzy Kent, and Manager Kelly Boyden were recognized. We will miss their leadership next year! Next Saturday, we will go to Brainerd for the Central Lakes Conference Meet!

Alex 3. River Lakes 1

The Lady Cards hit the road Monday night for a makeup game with CLC opponent the River Lakes Stars. The Cards put up some dominate offensive zone time throughout the game but could only find the back of the net 3 times in the 49 shots on net. Leading the scoring were senior captains Lauren Maras with one and Ella Westlund with two goals on the night. Maras would also grab an assist on the night along with Kylie Lattimer, Lilly Dutton, and Emma Ramstorf with 2. Rachael Mohr with the W between the pipes with 8 saves. The Lady Cards take them on again at the RCC Tuesday for senior night! Go Cards!

W vs River Lakes 4-0

It was a great night at the RCC last night as we were able to celebrate our seniors and end the night with 2 W's. The team came together and played hard for all the seniors. We outshot our opponents 46-6 resulting in 4 goals. Goals came from Zella Noetzelman (assisted by Stella Brown), Sophia Wisemen (unassisted), Sydney Menk (assisted by Katherine Korynta), and Alayna Loveland (assisted by Alena Maras). Rachel Mohr was our brick wall in net. We have one more game left of the season on Thursday vs St.Cloud.

This weekend we competed at the Monticello invitational against 14 teams. Alexandria JV jazz placed 5th and scored a season high of 206. Alexandria JV kick placed 5th and scored a season high of 212. This was their last competition of the season and finished extremely strong.

Varsity jazz placed 7th! Our goal was 11th! We also scored our season best of 292! Varsity kick placed 9th in a tie breaker. Our goal was 6th place, however, we also scored our season best of 303. We finally broke 300!

I’d say we had a great last weekend of regular season and we are so excited to head to sections next weekend.

The Alexandria Nordic Ski Team travelled within the Camp Ripley military base to compete at the Little Falls Invite.
