Distance Track and Baseball had great success last weekend, with our Diamond-Cutters taking two games from University of Dallas and the Kangaroo Runners competing in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
We have Men’s and Women’s Tennis hosting their final 5 home matches of the season this weekend, with Senior Day taking place on Sunday against an SCAC foe.
Let’s recap how our Student-Athletes did these past few days, and preview Baseball on the road and Men’s & Women’s Tennis at home in our next installment of the AC Athletics Update!
