🌾 ONE BIG THING

Yes Way, Jose. After finishing as the 2025 American Athletic Conference Individual Runner-Up, Wichita State men's golfer Jose Miguel Ramirez was named to the 2025 All-AAC Men's Golf team. Ramirez is the 107^th all-conference honoree in the history of the Shocker men's golf program, and it marks the third consecutive year the Shockers have had an all-conference selection.
 
His award came after tying the best finish by any Shocker at the AAC Championship, finishing as the individual runner-up. His 204 54-hole score tied the 11th-best 54-hole score at any tournament in team history. 

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Lots of Love For L-Squared. Fresh off an impressive showing on Senior Weekend, Lauren Lucas has been named the AAC Player of the Week. This is the fourth AAC Player of the Week honor for Lucas in her career and second of the season.

The Little Elm, Texas, native was 7-for-12 (.583) with five home runs, eight runs scored and nine RBIs in four games last week. Lucas hit home runs in each of the four games, including a two-home run game in the series finale vs. Charlotte. She has already set a new career high in home runs this season with 13, besting her previous career high of 10 in 2022. Nine of those 13 home runs have come in conference play.

 🔼 Courting the Sweep. The Wichita State softball team welcomes Kansas to Wilkins Stadium for its 2025 home finale tonight at 6 p.m. CT. The Shockers are coming off a 2-1 weekend vs. Charlotte. The squad now has six series wins in conference play, but is still searching for its first sweep of the season. Wichita State has won four straight conference series.
