TEXAN FOOTBALL has a bye this week before they head to Southern Utah on Oct. 8. The Texans snapped North Alabama's 16-game win streak with a 43-28 win in Florence, Alabama, on their homecoming. Tarleton's offense was clicking on all cylinders, finishing with a season-high 586 total yards, with 316 of those yards coming from Beau Allen's arm. Allen also threw for a career-high four touchdowns. Jaden Smith could not be guarded once again, as he finished with five catches for 173 yards and two of those receptions being for touchdowns. The defense put up some numbers as well, as five different Texans recorded a sack, with Patrick Jones having one of those being a strip sack in the endzone for a safety. Bryon Broussard iced the game with an interception on the Lions' last effort.
 
TARLETON TENNIS had eight players receive invites to one of the top fall tournaments, the ITA Texas Regional Championship, and began the event 5-0. Their run finally ended on Saturday in the singles main draw Final 16, an exceptional accomplishment, with nearly every NCAA Division I program in Texas sending their top players. Newcomer Emma Persson had the longest singles run, advancing to the singles main draw Round of 16 Saturday before falling. In doubles, Elif Albayrak and Martha Makantasi won their main draw Round of 64 match before falling on Friday in the Round of 32.
