Overall, it was a rough weekend for the majority of Tarleton sports. Football, with the help of six turnovers, dropped a road-game to then No. 9 Texas A&M-Kingsville, 34-20. Volleyball took three of it's four matches into a decisive fifth set, only to win just one of them.
Both teams should bounce back nicely though over the next few weeks. The Texans come back home to hosts Midwestern State this Saturday during Hall of Fame weekend. The TexAnns hosts two home games as well, with MSU coming in on Thursday and Cameron on Saturday. Nothing like the friendly confines of your home stadium or gym to help you get out of a rut.
On a good note, both cross country teams fared well last Friday. The men's team took first-place at the UNT Invitational for the second straight season. Jared McNeil came in first place overall with Gerzain Valenzuela right behind him in second place. If not for a Northwood runner, the Texans would have handed in a perfect score as Westyn Rosilies (4th), Ryan Quezada (5th) and Chris Haerell (6th) were all right behind McNeil and Valenzuela. The women's team placed fifth overall, but according to head coach Pat Ponder, "that was exactly where they thought they would be" for their first event of the season. Vanessa Elizondo (9th) finished in the top-ten following her first-ever NCAA XC event.
Can't wait to see what's in store for the Texans and TexAnns along the way the rest of the semester.
