📈 STOCK UP
🔺 Four Of A Kind. All season long, the depth of the BU women’s hoops team was shown night in and night out.
That depth was yet again on display as Baylor had 4️⃣ individuals honored amongst the yearly Big 12 accolades.
Highlighting the quartet was veteran Sarah Andrews’, who earned her third Big 12 All-Conference team honor, earning a spot on the Second Team.
Alongside Andrews, Aijha Blackwell, Dre'Una Edwards and Darianna Littlepage-Buggs each earned an all-conference honorable mention.
🔺 Rollin’ On. George Clooney wasn’t needed for this one. (Ocean’s Eleven reference for those still waking up).
The red-hot #14 BU softball team extended its win streak to 11 with a dominant road victory at Sam Houston State on Tuesday, needing just five innings to bring home an 8-0 victory over the Bearkats.
Once again, the circle was special for the Green & Gold as they posted the fourth shutout of the season and have now allowed just two earned runs and 16 total hits in the past four games. RyLee Crandall improved to 6-0 on the year, picking up the win with three shutout innings.
At the plate, the Bears cranked out 12 hits, with Taylor Strain, Emily Hott and Ana Watson all collecting two hits on the day.
🔺 Bite Out Of The Big Apple. Now that apple tastes pretty sweet!
The #1-ranked BU Acrobatics & Tumbling squad completed its sweep through the Big Apple on Tuesday with a decisive 276.405 to 242.675 over Long Island.
The Bears improve to 5-0 this spring heading into next weekend’s big home showdown with #4 Gannon.
There are so many intricate details inside the beloved Foster Pavilion.
So many stories to go along with each piece and this week, we’ll look at the specialized mural that brings life to the Student Section entrance.

🤔 SIC ’EM TRIVIA
