On Tuesday at 6 p.m., Tarleton State Baseball will host Baylor, then on Thursday at 7 p.m., Tarleton State Men's Basketball will host Senior Day, facing UT Arlington, at the EECU Center.
TEXAN BASEBALL will host Baylor on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Tarleton State Baseball Complex.

Tarleton State is 5-2 at home this season and has yet to play a true road game, with four neutral site matchups played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and La Moderna Field in Cleburne, Texas. Both the Texans and Bears are 6-5 overall this season, with Baylor pulling out a 10-inning 6-5 victory against No. 11 Ole Miss this weekend.

The Texans (2-4) won their first matches of the year in the second week of the season, rolling Concordia (0-4) in the doubleheader 5-0 and 5-0. The most points the Texans allowed in any set was 12, as they won all 10 matches in straight sets.
TEXAN MEN's GOLF is riding momentum of one of their top performances of the season and heads to the Golden Nugget Invitational at the Country Club at Golden Nugget starting Monday.

The Texans finished just two strokes behind Houston, who is currently nationally-ranked at No. 54. The 852 total marked the second-lowest 54-hole team score since Tarleton State transitioned to Division I competition.
TEXAN WOMEN'S GOLF will be in Puerto Rico this week for a three-day, three-round tournament Tuesday-Thursday. The Puerto Rico Shootout is at Palmas Del Mar in Humacao, Puerto Rico. In Tarleton State's last tournament, Lou Deltombe placed in the top-20 to lead the Texans to a sixth-place overall finish at the Texas Golf Throwdown at The Woodlands Country Club. The Texans placed sixth overall in the strong field that featured a pair of nationally-ranked programs, Texas A&M (No. 6) and Iowa State (No. 40).
TEXAN TENNIS will continue a five-match road trip on Saturday and Sunday, facing off UMKC on Saturday at 12 p.m., then Tulsa on Sunday at 10 a.m., both matches in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

TEXAN SOFTBALL finished 3-2 at the UNM Invitational in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this past weekend with wins over UTEP, New Mexico and Houston Christian.
