Olivet, Mich. — The Aquinas STUNT team suffered a pair of season-opening defeats on Sunday afternoon (Mar. 5) at Olivet. The Saints (0-2) couldn't take down the site host Olivet (1-5) in its first game, 7-3, and then lost 13-0 to Hiram (3-1) a couple hours later inside the Cutler Event Center. 

Against Olivet, both teams managed to score a point in the first quarter (partner stunts). The Comets took a 3-1 lead into halftime when they scored a point on routine two of the second quarter (pyramids and tosses). AQ and Olivet each tallied one point in the third quarter (jumps and tumbling) to keep the score close at 4-2. However, the Comets outscored the Saints 3-1 the fourth quarter (team routines) to claim a 7-3 victory.

Hiram picked up its third straight win by holding the Saints scoreless in the second game of the day.

The STUNT team, only in its second year of competition, is back in action March 31 and April 1 with four games (two each day) being played at Missouri Baptist in St. Louis, Mo. On Friday (Mar. 31), the Saints face Oklahoma City at 2 p.m. and Central Methodist at 4 p.m. The following day, AQ has scheduled games against Drury at 1 p.m. and hosts Missouri Baptist at 2 p.m.
