New year’s resolutions are never easy. Nor are they always followed through to the end. But for Elijah Hayes, backup point guard for the Flagler Saints, his first resolution is already coming to a successful close.
Hayes’ aim was to abstain from meat, dairy, refined sugar, starches and flour for 21 days. No easy task when he had practice six days a week and played 1 to 3 games a week. But Hayes said it was worth it.

Olivia Snipes, a senior setter for the Flagler College women’s volleyball team, said she doesn’t like to be the center of attention. Even if Snipes doesn’t want the spotlight on her, she has earned it from every student and faculty member at Flagler with her honors on and off the volleyball court.
Snipes is an Elementary Education major and is minoring in history. She is a member of Kappa Delta Pi, which is the education honors society. She is also a member of Omicron Delta Kappa and Alpha Chi, which are both national honors societies. She is president of the student athlete advisory committee, which is essentially the voice of the student athletes to help with things such as college administration. She is currently holding a 3.77 grade point average.

The first points of the game were not scored until almost two minutes into the game when Shelbi Lindsey, a forward for Flagler College, sank a 3-pointer. Lindsey led the team in scoring with 17 points.

Senior defensive specialist Laura Beth Lancaster transferred from Georgia Southern after her freshman year and has thrived for the Saints since then.
“The coaches, players and even the faculty at this school are all behind me and that’s a great feeling,” Lancaster said. “I have become close with not only the members of the volleyball program here but of many other sports teams as well. It’s hard to say goodbye, but I am grateful for all of the memories and opportunities I’ve had here.”

The Flagler College men’s soccer team played its final game of the season Saturday night as they lost to Lynn University in the NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer Tournament Quarterfinals. It was a close game with a lot of scoring chances being recorded by each team, but Lynn edged out Flagler in penalty kicks winning 4-2.
As rain began to fall about an hour before the match started, it was clear that neither team was affected by the slick conditions. The goalkeepers prepared for skipping balls during warm-ups, but the rain stopped just before kickoff which made shots on the ground less of a problem.
