Men’s & Women’s Basketball closed out their final regular-season home games for 18-19 as we said goodbye and thank you to two wonderful classes of Seniors, #RooNation. Baseball and Softball may have had to cancel their games this past weekend, but we will provide you with the updated schedule to make sure that you don’t miss any of the action. And of course, all the details regarding the SCAC Swimming & Diving Championships will be listed.
A busy week in Austin College Athletics to say the least, #RooNation. Here is all that was promised, and more, in your AC Athletics Update.
Softball
Let’s hope the weather holds off long enough for our Softball Student-Athletes to get on the field. The home games against Jarvis Christian were rescheduled, so our Kangaroos hit the road to Richardson, TX to take on Texas Dallas. A doubleheader starts TONIGHT at 4:00PM & 6:00PM, followed by home games scheduled at Old Settlers Park on Saturday and Sunday vs. Hendrix and Ecclesia. Good luck, ‘Roos!
