📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Lived Up to the Hype. Lauren Lucas made her much-awaited return to the diamond for Wichita State softball this past weekend, and it looked like she hadn't missed a beat. Lucas was named the AAC Player of the Week after a stellar opening weekend in Phoenix. This is her third AAC Player of the Week honor and first since 2023.

Over five games, Lucas hit .667 (10-for-15) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBIs and eight runs scored.

Chloe Barber earned a spot on the AAC Weekly Honorable Mention list after a 2-0 weekend in the circle.

🔼 Let’s Keep the Dub Train Rollin’. The Shockers softball schedule ramps up in a big way this weekend when Wichita State heads to Florida for the Shriners Children's Clearwater Invitational:

Feb. 13: vs. #23/24 Kentucky (10 AM CT) | vs. #5/5 Texas A&M (4 PM CT)
Feb. 14: vs. San Diego State (4 PM CT)
Feb. 15: vs. Liberty (2 PM CT) | vs. #8/9 Florida State (6 PM CT)
Video: SEC Network (SEC Network) | ESPN+ (All Other Games)
Stats: Statbroadcast.com

Wichita State is 5-0 for the first time since 1994 and just the third time in program history. The Shockers' 5-0 weekend in Phoenix also marked the first time since 2021 the Shockers have gone 5-0 at an early season tournament.

🥎 : SCOUTING REPORTS

🔼 Let’s Dub This. Wichita State WBB looks to add one to the win column in Charlotte, North Carolina, as the squad takes on the 49ers at 5:30 p.m. CT.

The Shockers look to their secret weapon, Salese Blow, who has been perfect from the charity stripe eight times this season and 15 times in her career. Jayla Murray has finished in double figures in each of the last five games. Wichita State's defense has held its last three opponents to 60 points or less over the last three outings.
