Only thing that concerns me is UVU being tied for 3rd in the WAC with a 15-18 overall record and their love for playing NAIA and NWAC schools home and away since this current staff has been in Orem. I always think this every year that SacSt will do some damage come WAC Tourney in Mesa as well.

UVU is 19-19, not 15-18, but yes they shouldn't be scheduling NAIA schools.

15-19*

No one should be counting their wins vs community colleges

Yes, I get that.

What is the deal with an upcoming baseball game: ACU vs Tarleton State set for Tuesday, 4/23rd? It is being called a non-conference game. Are the Texans still in some kind of transitioning?

After a rough start to the season (Christiansen turned over half the roster after last season), we seemed to have turned a corned these past few weeks and are on a heater at the moment. We're 8 of our last 10 and just won 7 of a 9 game road trip that included wins at Oregon and 2 wins at U$C. We're sitting at 21-21 (9-9 WAC) on the year.

That said, our WAC schedule has other teams that are battling for those final spots to the WACT. Should be an interesting finish to the year.

I am sure it's because we already had a series with Tarleton that counted as the WAC series. This must just be an extra game.

That makes sense. Short travel time and good competition.

Seattle U might be host home games in the new $120 million ballpark in Everett, their current setup in Bellevue is garbage for the spectator but they make it work the best they can.

Grand Canyon 13-5, 22-18
