📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Palmetto Punch-Out. Razorback softball picked up their third-straight SEC series win over the weekend, taking two games from No. 25 South Carolina. Robyn Herron earned both wins over the Gamecocks, tossing 12.1 scoreless innings. The fun started on Friday night when Arkansas got the 4-3 win behind two runs from Cylie Halvorson and a run each by Hannah Gammill and Bri Ellis. The Gamecocks were blanked by Robyn Herron and the Hogs on Sunday as the Razorbacks took the 3-0 win. Hannah Gammill hit her 11th homer of the year to score the first run of the game.

🔺 Take Two. Men’s tennis took two of three matches over the weekend, getting wins over No. 25 Florida and Lindenwood, while falling to No. 12 Mississippi State. Friday’s 4-3 Senior Night win over Florida was the fifth-straight ranked win for the Razorbacks. They dropped Sunday’s match against Mississippi State 4-2, but bounced back right after to sweep Lindenwood. Next, they’ll take on the SEC Championship in Baton Rouge on Wednesday.

🔺 Won The Weekend. The women’s tennis team also got two wins over the weekend, defeating Mississippi State and No. 38 Ole Miss in Mississippi. They took down the Bulldogs 6-1 on Friday afternoon. They went down the road to defeat Ole Miss 4-2 to wrap up the regular season. Their SEC Tournament will start on Thursday when they take on LSU.

🔺 Onto The Next. The eighth-ranked women’s golf team finished stroke play at the SEC Championship in sixth-place after three rounds. Kendall Todd and Kajal Mistry led the team tied for 11th individually. This is the first time since 2021 the Razorbacks advanced to match play. They’ll go up against Texas A&M at 7:50 this morning.

🔺 Tide Rolled On. The top-ranked Diamond Hogs had a not-so-ideal weekend at Alabama, dropping two of three on the road. Arkansas took Friday night’s game, 5-3, behind Hagen Smith’s six shutout innings and Gabe Gaeckle’s sixth save of the season. The Razorbacks dropped Saturday and Sunday’s games, Sunday’s 5-0 loss was the first time they had been shutout since 2022.
