🔼 Three Of A Kind. It may be a team loaded with new faces, but they sure aren’t playing like it after the first three days of the World University Games.

In its final game of pool play, Baylor, playing at Team USA, took down Team Romania 85-65 to go a perfect 3-0 record and enter the bracket play portion as a No. 1 seed.
 
On the offensive end, the Bears shot 60-percent while racking up 23 total assists, including four players with at least four assists each.
 
Another well-rounded scoring night came to fruition for Team USA with four players in double-figures with at least 15 points. Obi Agbim for the second night in a row led the way for USA with another 20-point game, this time with 22 points along with five assists and two steals.
 
Alongside Agbim was Cameron Carr who had a highlight night with multiple show-stopping dunks, racking up 19 points, five rebounds and three steals. Dan Skillings Jr. put up a near double-double with 16 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks. Isaac Williams IV went 7-for-10 on the night with 15 points and five assists.
 
Team USA will now prepare for the quarterfinals of bracket play, facing off against Team Finland at 5:30 pm local time (10:30 am CT) on Wednesday, July 23rd, at Ischelandhalle in Hagen, Germany. Finland went 2-1 in pool play in Group A and will enter as a No. 2 seed.

🔼 Brown Delivers. After winning a national championship in her final season, Alexis Brown is adding yet another honor to her incredible year.

On Monday, she was named the 2025 Women's Indoor Field Scholar Athlete of the Year title from USTFCCCA.
 
The NCAA Indoor Long Jump National Champion had a 3.96 cumulative GPA in her graduate program to earn her the honor.

Both the Men's and Women's team were named USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams, while 11 student-athletes were named All-Academica as well. Those were Isabella Copeland, Molly Haywood, Emily Kuhn, Serafima Lucero, Calisha Taylor, Logan Todorovich and Iyanna Webb from the women's side, and Ricquan Graham, Igor Olaru, Demario Prince and Aren Spencer from the men's.

🔼 Setting The Slate. Get your calendars out, we’ve got dates to plug in.

Late last week, Baylor women's golf revealed its 2025-26 season schedule, featuring as many as five tournaments in the Lone Star State.
 
In addition to the four scheduled Texas events, Waco will host one of six NCAA Regionals at Ridgewood Country Club in May. Coming off a fifth-straight trip to the NCAA Championship, head coach Jay Goble feels good about their road map back to La Costa.

Redshirt sophomore Jacob Redding started to emerge late in 2024 and now, he’s ready for even more.

The New Braunfels native played in all 13 games last season, beginning the year as a integral part of the special teams units and finishing the year as a critical reserve in the defensive backfield.

He played key snaps throughout the second half of the season, recording 12 tackles on the season.
