The Texan Tennis squad has concluded their regular season on a high note, achieving a commendable 13-7 record. Their final home match, marked by a victory over UT Arlington, was particularly memorable. Now, traveling to Arlington for the WAC Tournament, they hold the No. 2 seed, granting them a first-round bye. They will face off in the semifinals against either UT Arlington or Utah Tech on Friday morning, hoping to advance to Saturday's championship game for an automatic NCAA bid.

On the greens, Louise Depadt led the Women’s Golf team with another top-five finish last week. As they embark on postseason play in Arizona, they return to the familiar grounds of the Wigwam Golf Course, where they triumphed earlier this year. This confidence could propel them through the WAC Championship from Monday to Wednesday.

Softball maintains an impressive nine-game win streak, having recently swept Utah Valley after defeating North Texas. With important matchups ahead, starting with Lamar on Tuesday, the Texans seek to extend their dominance. They then face Abilene Christian before returning home to host Prairie View A&M later in April.

In New Orleans, the Texan Beach Volleyball team participates in their final regular-season invite, facing four challenging opponents. Matches begin on Friday against McNeese and Tulane, continuing Saturday with Florida Atlantic and Southeastern Louisiana. Following this event, they prepare for the Conference USA Beach Volleyball Championship.

Baseball opens their week against Texas A&M, followed by a critical series against Utah Valley. Fans attending the next home game against Utah Tech on April 25 will receive commemorative bobbleheads celebrating the team's recent WAC Tournament success.
