Shocker volleyball started off the weekend strong on Friday with a 3-1 victory over UTSA in what was that milestone-winning win for Coach Lamb. He becomes just the 19th active NCAA coach with 500 wins. On Saturday, it was more of the same as the Shockers swept the Roadrunners thanks to a career-day from Natalie Foster’s .800 hitting percentage.

🔼 Closing Time. After a solid outing at the cross country NCAA Midwest Regional, the season concluded with runner Lucy Ndungu’s all-region selection, the 37th time in program history a runner has been named All-Region.

🔼 The Roundhouse Podcast. Shocker softball is headed into the offseason, but not without getting an update from assistant coach Elizabeth Economon and outfielder Bailey Urban. Listen in as they discuss rehabbing from injury and how to get the best out of appearances at the plate.

🔼 Team Growth. The Shocker men’s basketball family grew with the team’s additions of 2024 recruits Zion Pipkin and TJ Williams. Pipkins signed as a three-star recruit and 10th ranked player in the state of Texas, while Williams will join the team as the third-ranked player in Kansas.
