TARLETON STATE FOOTBALL continues its every-other week of away games with a road trip to Richmond, Kentucky to take on Eastern Kentucky in its third UAC matchup of the season. Last week, the Texans dropped a heartbreaker to Southern Utah, 27-26. Southern Utah mounted a 14-point comeback in the final three minutes of the game to steal the victory away from the Texans. Kayvon Britten ran for a season-high 93 yards in the contest.
TEXAN SOCCER hits the road again after a pair of home contests last week. Tarleton will head to the state of Utah for a pair of WAC matchups with possible conference tournament implications. Tarleton State will open the road trip on Thursday night in St. George, Utah against Utah Tech at 8 p.m. at Zion Greater Stadium. The Texans will stay in the Beehive State for a Sunday afternoon match against Southern Utah at 1 p.m. at Thunderbird Soccer Field in Cedar City.
TEXAN VOLLEYBALL also heads out for a road trip, but features much closer teams. The Texans will make the 250-mile trek to Nacogdoches to take on Stephen F. Austin on Thursday night at 6 p.m. Next on the docket for Tarleton State is another road contest against UT Arlington on Saturday at noon. The Texans are currently 2-4 in the WAC after a pair of losses to Utah Tech and Southern Utah last week.
TEXAN WOMEN'S GOLF hosts its first event of the year with Texan Match Play today at Squaw Valley Golf Course in Glen Rose. The Texans host a four-team match play event for the first time since Isabel Jimenez took the helm of the program. The Texans will face-off against Texas Southern in the first round with Stephen F. Austin taking on Prairie View A&M. The winners of the first round will battle for the championship in the afternoon, with the other two teams playing for third place. Each team will select a five-woman lineup with each slot matching up against its counterpart. The golfers will go head-to-head competing on a per hole basis instead of a total score, and the golfer with the most holes won will win one point for her team. The team to get three points first will be crowned the victor. The first round teed off at 8 a.m. and the championship round is estimated to start at 2 p.m.
TEXAN MEN'S GOLF travels to Corvallis, Oregon to partake in the Oregon State Invitational. The 15-team Invitational features a pair of other WAC members, Utah Tech and Seattle U.

The teams will be playing at Trysting Tree Golf Course, a 71-par, 7,384-yard course deep in the heart of Oregon.
