🔼 Beach Days. Shocker men’s golf is headed to their first of two international trips this season to Paradise Island in the Bahamas to play in the White Sands Bahamas NCAA Invitational starting Oct. 20. Four Shockers from the win at the Grier Jones Shocker Invitational will get to tee off underneath the palm trees this weekend with Tate Herrenbruck filling in as the fifth spot head coach Judd Easterling said had to be earned.

🗣️ "With this being such a special event, we wanted the best man to earn the spot and Tate [Herrenbruck] came out on top in the 36-hole playoff." - Judd Easterling

🔼 Shine Bright. Both Shocker men’s and women’s basketball teams got all glammed up for media days with the 2023-24 season just a couple of weeks away. Check out some of the behind the scene shots taken from each of the team’s outings in the spotlight.

🔼 And Another One. Shocker men’s tennis is competing at the ITA Central Region Championships, and a couple of student-athletes are showing out. Alejandro Jacome advanced to the round of 16 in singles play and advanced to the doubles quarterfinals with teammate Kristof Minarik. Play will continue today as both Shockers look to further themselves in the competition.

🤔 SHOCKER TRIVIA
