St. Lawrence University’s women’s indoor track team became the first Saint track team to capture an ECAC Championship at the 2007 ECAC Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday when the Saints picked up eight points with a second place finish in the final relay of the day to overtake Cabrini College for the team championship in a 55-team field.

The Saints finished the meet with 48 points with Cabrini second with 45, Frostburg third with 42 and Williams fourth with 41.

The Saint 4x800 relay team of Alexis Nuffer, Lindsey Taylor, Kim Keszey and Laura Clarke won the meet with their second place finish in a SLU record time of 9:36.94, nearly 11 seconds faster than the previous mark which was set in the 2002 ECAC championships.

Freshman Alyssa Pirinelli was the only event champion for the Saints, winning Friday’s shot put competition with a throw of 13.25 meters (43-5.75).

Second place is the highest finish ever for the Cavaliers at the ECAC championships.  Lauren Deas, who will represent Cabrini at next week's NCAA indoor championships, captured the individual title in the 55 meters with a time of 7:16. She was the only Cavalier to win a gold medal,
