🌾 ONE BIG THING

Shocker women’s basketball put up 100 points in its third-consecutive victory, defeating CSU Bakersfield 100-69 on Wednesday afternoon. WSU finished in triple figures for the first time since December 2022, and the 31-point victory is the largest margin of victory for the Shockers in the Terry Nooner era. Salese Blow led the Shockers with her first 20-plus point performance of the season and sixth in her career, scoring 23 points while Jayla Murray put up a career-high 19 points with six rebounds and two assists.

🔼 Starting Off Strong. Shocker baseball was picked second in the 2025 American Athletic Conference preseason coaches poll, the highest preseason projection for the Shockers since joining the conference in 2017. WSU garnered 72 points and two first-place nods. In addition to the preseason rankings, the team had four preseason All-Conference selections: catcher Mauricio Millan, first baseman Josh Livingston, second baseman Jordan Rogers and shortstop Camden Johnson.

🔼 Weekend Ball. On Saturday, Shocker women’s basketball heads to Tulsa, Okla., looking to extend its three-game winning streak when the team takes on Oral Roberts. The two programs will meet for the 25th time in program history with the Golden Eagles leading the series 13-11.
