Koepsell led the Monks on the track with a standout race in the 800 meters, placing fifth in 2:26.72 to secure four points for Saint Joseph's.

The jump moves her into a tie for first in the GNAC and also ties the Saint Joseph's program record in the event. Bean added a 4.56m (14' 11.5") effort in the long jump to round out a productive day in the horizontal jumps.

Pendleton continued her impressive rookie campaign with a strong showing in her Maine State debut, placing eighth in the 800 meters with a time of 2:29.88 to score a point in a deep field.
