Winter, Utley honored by IIAC

Two former Metro athletes have been honored by the Iowa Conference this week.

Xavier grad Kristen Winter, now a junior at Luther College, has been named the IIAC softball player of the week.

Prairie grad D.J. Utley, now a junior at Wartburg, has been honored by the conference in baseball.

Winter, a second baseman, hit .500 and slugged 1.100 while leading the Norse to the Iowa Conference tournament title. She had three hits and three RBIs, including a walk-off home run, in Luther's 5-4, 8-inning win over Buena Vista Friday. She had two hits, including a two-run homer, in a 15-11 Norse championship game win over Coe Sunday.

Utley, a first baseman, hit .571 (8-of-14) with three doubles, a home run, seven RBIs and three runs scored. In the regular-season finale against Central, he tied a career-high with five RBIs and finished a triple shy of the cycle. Utley also started the finale on the mound, throwing two innings.

No. 4 Saints boot North Scott

ELDRIDGE - The fourth-ranked Xavier boys soccer team trimmed North Scott, 2-1, in a non-conference match Saturday in Eldridge.

The Saints took a 1-0 lead when a free kick by Steven Jones was turned aside, but Connor Ramlo tapped in the rebound for a goal.

The Saints made it 2-0 when Caelen Lilly crossed the ball in the box and Luke Koechner scored on a header.

Xavier missed several opportunities to pad its lead. North Scott scored with five minutes left to make it exciting.
