📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Home For The Weekend. LSU baseball is staying home at The Box as they host top-ranked Texas A&M. The Tiger pitching staff has been heating up, they’ve posted a 2.72 ERA in the last nine games. They started the week with a 26-2 win over Grambling. Tonight’s game will begin at 7 pm and air on ESPN2 and SEC Network. The series will continue tomorrow at 6:30 pm, also on ESPN2. Sunday’s finale will start at 1 pm and stream on SEC Network+.

🔼 A New Season. It’s NCAA Championship season for the LSU tennis teams! The men’s team will start us off this morning at the Texas Regional. They’ll be taking on UCLA at 10 am, the winner will advance to the second round tomorrow at 4 pm against either Texas or Sacramento State. The women’s team will take on Baylor at the Stanford Regional at noon today. The winner of that game will play either Stanford or Massachusetts on Saturday at 4 pm.

🔼 Close Us Out. The LSU softball team will close out the regular season at home as they host Liberty. Seven seniors will be honored throughout the weekend with Hannah Carson and Karli Petty tonight. Ciara Briggs, Raeleen Gutierrez, and Ali Newland will be honored during tomorrow’s 6 pm game. Kelley Lynch and Taylor Pleasants will be honored during Sunday’s finale at 5 pm. First pitch tonight is at 6 pm and all three games will stream on SEC Network+.

🔼 All About Community. LSU’s Brad Davis Community Service Award winners are Ali Newland and Stefan Latinovic! Ali has been a leader on and off the softball field all season. She leads the team in community service hours and recently won LSU’s Female Leadership Mikey Award. Stefan is on the men’s tennis team and earned 16 hours of community service by contributing to many tennis clinics, MLK Day of Service, and fundraisers. They’ll each receive $5,000 of post-graduate scholarship by the SEC.

🔼 Top Tigs. Two beach volleyball pairs earned AVCA Top Flight honors — Aubrey O’Gorman & Ella Larkin and Emily Meyer & Yali Ashush. To earn the recognition, a pair must play 15 matches together on the same court and win at least 75% of them. Aubrey & Ella are 14-4 with four Top 20 wins, while Emily and Yali are 18-11 and 12-4 on Court 5 with five Top 20 wins. The Sandy Tigs will take on No. 6 TCU at the NCAA Championships at 4 pm today on ESPNU.
