Her family spent Saturday evening's meal watching her grandson Colton Watkinson help Limestone College defeat Queen's University of Charlotte 17-6 to advance to the NCAA Division 2 men's field lacrosse semifinals. The Watkinsons' original plan was to watch a live stream of the game, then have dinner. But the start of Limestone's game was delayed 90 minutes due to severe weather moving through the Gaffney, S.C., area. "(The game began when) the roast was coming out," Joan said. Limestone, ranked second in NCAA Division 2, improved to 17-1 with the rout, tying a program record for wins in a season. The Saints went 17-2 two years ago, when they were national finalists. Colton, also the captain of this year's Oakville Buzz junior B team, recorded an assist, three shots on goal and a ground ball Saturday. Former Buzz teammate Todd Nakasuji, an Ajax native, added three goals, seven shots and two ground balls for the Saints. Limestone will be home to the University of Tampa Spartans this Sunday (May 18) in the national semifinals. The winner will take on either the Adelphi Panthers or LIU Post Pioneers in the NCAA final May 25 in Baltimore. Newhouse into D1 quarter-finals One Oakville Hawks product helped eliminate another from the NCAA Division 1 men's field lacrosse tournament. Jonathan Newhouse and the University at Albany Great Danes upset Tyler Albrecht's top-seeded Loyola Maryland Greyhounds 13-6 in the opening round of the tournament Saturday in Baltimore. Newhouse scored and scooped up three gound balls in the victory for 15th-ranked Albany, which will face Notre Dame this Saturday (May 17) in the NCAA quarterfinals. The game in Hempstead, N.Y., will be televised in the United States on ESPN 2. Albrecht had four assists and two ground balls in a losing cause for Loyola. -- Jon Kuiperij 3-0-0 2-1-0 0-2-1 0-2-1 3-0-0 2-1-0 2-1-0 1-2-0 1-2-0 0-3-0 4-0-0 3-0-0 2-2-0 2-1-0 1-3-0 1-2-0 1-2-0 0-4-0 4-0-0 3-1-0 3-1-0 2-1-0 2-2-0 1-3-0 0-4-0 0-3-0 4-0-0 1-2-1 1-2-1 1-3-0 3-0-1 2-1-1 1-3-0 1-3-0 (W3) (W1) (L1) (L1) (W3) (L1) (W2) (L2) (W1) (L3) (W4) (W3) (L1) (W1) (L2) (L2) (W1) (L4) (W4) (W3) (W3) (W1) (L2) (L3) (L4) (L3) (W4) (W1) (L2) (L1) (T1) (T1) (W1) (L3) 6 4 1 1 6 4 4 2 2 0 8 6 4 4 2 2 2 0 8 6 6 4 4 2 0 0 8 3 3 2 7 5 2 2 20 24 8 8 19 12 18 14 11 4 31 17 18 15 14 9 8 12 14 14 10 14 12 9 7 6 29 8 7 5 16 16 14 10 12 12 16 20 8 12 10 12 19 17 13 6 12 13 21 13 16 30 5 7 6 8 15 14 16 15 1 12 16 20 7 14 13 22 8 12 -8 -12 11 0 8 2 -8 -13 18 11 6 2 -7 -4 -8 -18 9 7 4 6 -3 -5 -9 -9 28 -4 -9 -15 9 2 1 -12 Marni Oldershaw trying to become family's sixth Olympian continued from p.17 Russia, where she finished fifth in the 400m IM. That opened her eyes to the possibilities before her. "I started to realize I do belong on the world stage," she said, "more than I did before." Earlier at trials, Oldershaw missed qualifying in the 400m IM. With the meet coming just two weeks after the NCAA championships, where the University of Michigan sophomore swam five events and earned all-American honours, she knew her endurance was not where it needed to be. She finished fourth, more than three seconds behind her World University Games time. The 200m IM would be her best chance to qualify. And as the final women's race in the meet, it would also be her last. "A lot of my friends had already qualified so there was a little bit of pressure," the Iroquois Ridge High School grad said. "But I like swimming under pressure. I thrive when I know I have to do something." Oldershaw delivered, taking a shade under two seconds off her personal-best time, finishing in 2:13.72 to beat the automatic qualifying standard of 2:13.98 -- the 16th-best time at last year's world championships. That performance landed the 19-year-old a spot on the Canadian team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland in July. She will also compete for Canada at the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia in August. "It's an awesome opportunity," Oldershaw said. "After the World University Games, it's all progressing, hopefully into the Olympics." · · · · While the family paddling legacy remains strong -- cousin Mark won a bronze medal at the London Olympics, brother Brant is on the national canoe polo team and uncle Scott is a national team coach -- Marni is indeed showing an Oldershaw can succeed without a paddle in hand. She has no regrets about forging a path that didn't include the sport her family is so widely identified with. "(Swimming) has given me so many opportunities," she said. Dean Oldershaw is confident his daughter could have had similar success in the family business. But whether or not she is able to become the family's sixth Olympian, what she's been able to accomplish in the pool has left quite an impression on the canoe lifer. "Nothing against canoe, but getting to the level she's at (in swimming) is much harder," he said. "In canoe, you have thousands involved in the sport at the highest level, in swimming you've got millions." And for the man who called his 12-year-old daughter pushing herself to the brink of throwing up "a proud moment," taking the hard road to success is certainly to be admired. "She's taken that Oldershaw mentality," he said, "and applied it to her swimming." -- Herb Garbutt can be followed on Twitter @Herbgarbutt This ad is courtesy of ­ Proud Supporters ­ & now available!
