Good morning, Shocker Nation. Wichita State volleyball has some epic plans for this weekend’s slate!

What else are we mixing into today’s piping hot edition of the Shocker Brew? Find out below!

🎙️ Talking time
🏐 Defensive dominance
🌾 And much, much more!

🌾 ONE BIG THING

Mini plans are on sale now for the upcoming season of Wichita State men’s and women’s basketball!

You can find more details here for men’s basketball and more details here for women’s hoops.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Tip Time. A new season of Wichita State women’s basketball is almost here. Today, we’re getting to know Diamond Richardson, a senior guard, a little bit better!

🔼 Talking Time. Associate men’s basketball head coach Kenton Paulino joined the latest episode of The Roundhouse Podcast to talk all things Wichita State hoops. The podcast dives into why coaches love scrimmages instead of NCAA Division I opponents, the challenges of teaching newcomers, and a full breakdown of each position as the season opener is just a couple of weeks away.

🔼 Defensive Dominance. Defense might not always draw the wow factor, but it wins games, says Wichita State volleyball’s middle blocker Allie Paulsen. The sophomore is fresh off American Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors, and with Tulane and North Texas looming this weekend, Paulsen is looking to keep her momentum at the net rolling.

🔼 Fall Ball. Wichita State softball’s fall slate continued this week as the Shockers took on Southern Nazarene in 10 innings. The two squads played to a 4-4 tie on the evening. Wichita State will be back on the field on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 2 p.m. against Murray State College.
