🔼 Three’s Company. Former Tiger tennis player Neal Skupski took over the biggest stage in tennis — the Wimbledon. He won his third straight Wimbledon Championship over the weekend, this time with his men’s doubles partner Wesley Koolhof. Neal played for LSU from 2008-2012 and collected a handful of All-American and All-SEC honors.

🔼 Winner, Winner. The wins keep piling up across the pond, LSU women’s golfer Carla Tejedo and her country of Spain won gold at the 2023 European Ladies Team Championship. Carla won three matches in three days and defeated defending champion, England.

Ingrid Lindblad finished tied for second in the individual competition, after just announcing that she’ll be returning to LSU for her fifth year. Her country of Sweden finished fifth.

🔼 Welcome Home. She helped pave the way from the beginning and now she’s coming home, former LSU volleyball and beach volleyball player Katie Dickens (Lindelow) is back in Baton Rouge! Katie was hired as an assistant coach with the beach volleyball team. She was a member of the first LSU beach volleyball team back in 2014, after starting her career with the indoor volleyball team in 2012. She has had 15 top-10 finishes on the AVP Tour at the professional level.

🔼 Beware Of The Bear. The Baseball America Magazine passed out Second-Team Freshman All-American honors to Jared Jones. He hit .304 with 12 doubles, 14 homers, 45 RBIs, and 37 runs scored. He made the 2023 Freshman All-SEC Team, NCBWA Freshman All-American, and SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll.
