The Cardinals at Jean Freeman Invitational—Their Last Appearance:
• December 5-6, 2014 * Minneapolis, Minn.:  Saint Mary's oach Eric Lindquist knew how important the two-day University of Minnesota Jean Freeman Invitational was for his Cardinals. Not only was it one final competition before the Christmas holidays, but it was also a chance for the Cardinals to compete in an event with a similar structure to the season-ending Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships—not to mention compete in an event at the same venue as the conference championships. And Lindquist left the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center feeling very good about his Cardinals' performances | Day 1 Recap * Day 2 Recap
 
The Cardinals' Up Next:
• The Cardinals are now off until Jan. 16, when they head to Decorah, Iowa, for a 1 p.m. dual meet against Luther.
