Good morning, Shocker Nation.

Wicihta State bowling pulled off an incredible comeback run through the elimination bracket to win the Arlington Regional and punch their ticket to a second straight NCAA Final Four. After a stunning opening-round loss to Newman, WSU rattled off five consecutive match wins, beating Bryant, avenging the Newman loss, then taking down top-seeded Louisiana Tech twice, including a dominant 4-0 sweep in the decisive best-of-seven.

Morgan Kline rolled a 257 and Aleesha Oden a 237 in a key traditional match against Louisiana Tech, while Paige Wagner's 222 helped spark the Newman rematch. Wichita State was the only non-top seed to win their regional and will face No. 1 Jacksonville State on Friday, April 10, in Ohio, alongside Arkansas State and Vanderbilt.

🌾 ONE BIG THING

The Shockers dominated at Adair-Austin Stadium with 10 event victories over two days. Junior Tyler Carroll headlined the meet by winning the 110-meter hurdles in a conference-leading 13.91, moving to sixth in Wichita State history. Kylie Scott led a 1-2-3 Shocker sweep in the women's pole vault, clearing 3.98m, an outdoor PR that ranks second in the conference and eighth in program history, with freshmen Lilly Charest and Shellamae Farmer tying for 10th all-time behind her.

Beau Kerschen set a personal-best in the men's hammer throw at 58.86m (193-1), ranking second in the conference. The Shockers also swept both 1500-meter races (Lucy Ndungu, Kelvin Kipyego) and picked up wins in the long jump (Chairo Ogbebor), high jump (Mattelyn Swartz), discus (Eli Johnson), steeplechase (Victor Kemboi), and 400-meter hurdles (Sadie Millar). The Shockers next split up for meets at Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Butler CC (April 9-11).

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Keep Rolling. Wichita State women’s tennis (17-3) gutted out a 4-1 Easter Sunday road win at North Texas to extend its winning streak to 15, tied for the third-longest in program history, and snap the Mean Green's eight-match home winning streak. Wichita State dropped the doubles point for just the fourth time this season, but stormed back in singles as Theodora Chantava and Vichitraporn Vimuktananda built a quick 2-1 lead. With all four remaining matches going to three sets, Kristina Kudryavtseva rallied from a first-set loss to win, and Tatyana Nikolenko clinched the match with a clutch 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 victory at No. 6, her first match-clincher since last March. Up next: hosting Creighton on Friday, April 10.

🔼 Series Win. Wichita State softball (21-15, 9-6 American) locked up its third conference series win with a 9-3 victory over Tulsa, moving into third place in the league standings. Kammie Smith stayed red-hot, going 3-for-3 with two RBI, while Ausha Moore ripped two doubles and drove in three. Kinzey Woody added a two-run homer, and Trinity Allen scored a career-high four runs on a 2-for-2 day with a double and two walks. Ryley Nihart went the distance, allowing just one earned run on four hits with four strikeouts. Next up: The Shockers host Oklahoma State on Wednesday, April 8, including the completion of a suspended game from Stillwater at 5:15 p.m. followed by the regularly scheduled contest at 6 p.m.

🔼 The Right Spots. The latest RoundHouse feature breaks down how sophomore Ava Sliger silenced the bats with a zero-walk, four-hit complete game after the Shocker pitching staff gave up 14 hits the night before, leading WSU to a 7-1 series-evening win over Tulsa.

🔼 Bounced Back. The Shockers bounced back from consecutive losses with a dominant 6-1 win at Drake. Wichita State grabbed the doubles point behind 6-3 wins from Bockelmann-Evans/Jacome at No. 3 and Cruz/Worthington at No. 2, then steamrolled through singles: lias Worthington cruised 6-1, 6-3 at No. 1, Amir Milushev won his fifth straight at No. 4 (6-2, 6-2), and Rodrigo Cruz clinched the match at No. 5 (6-3, 6-3). Zaid Al Mashni added a 6-3, 7-5 win at No. 2. The Shockers next head to the American Conference Championship on April 15.

🔼 Tee Off. Wichita State men’s golf travels to Mizzou's Tiger Invitational (April 6-7), riding momentum from a fifth-place finish at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic where they knocked off two top-50 opponents in No. 42 San Diego and No. 47 South Florida. Jose Carletta led the way with a career-best fifth-place individual finish on a career-low 207 (-9), going at least two under in each round. Full preview here.
