By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter Entering the weekend having won the last four games, consisting of a processional sweeping of University of Louisiana-Monroe and a mid-week win over rival UTSA, the 21st-ranked Texas State Softball team had everything going for them. Consistent batting, austere pitching, and resilience ingrained from dedicated coaching made the trip to Troy another prime spot for the softball team to win. Yet, the Troy Trojans were […]
By Reily Chestnut Assistant Sports Director The Bobcats wanted this one. They were busting for a chance to inflict their wrath on the Longhorns for beating them back on March 21. Good news folks... they got ‘em back. The No. 24 ranked Texas State Bobcats continued their winning streak with a 2-1 victory over the Longhorns.

By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter The Texas State softball team is composed of players not only renowned for individual efforts, but the tone in which they play together. The series sweep of the South Alabama Jaguars was a team series. Each player stood out for their own marked stats, but delineating those would be a disservice to the team organization head coach Ricci Woodard has built. The sweep was a […]
By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter After three cancelled games, the Bobcat softball team had a week to practice, improve, and refresh for an onslaught of Sun Belt games. Any concern the team would display rust against Sun Belt rival Georgia Southern Eagles went sailing out the window after scoring three batters into the first inning. The off-week arguably made the Bobcats mentally sharper behind the insightful coaching of Ricci Woodard, […]
By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter The weekend series featured a double header against a team of power hitters – a Coastal Carolina Chanticleers team looking for ownership in the opening Sun Belt Series.

By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter Bobcat Softball Riding Wave into Coastal Carolina Standing strong at 19-7, and 2-0 in Sun Belt play, the Bobcats softball team has been taking care of their fundamentals in the past several games. Going 2-0 against Georgia State, including a 5-4, 10-inning boxing match, was another display of grit. Beating Incarnate Word and Baylor were slow, controlled climbs in which the Bobcats battled in their […]
By Alexander Haynes Sports Staff The Texas State Bobcats, coming off a reverberating 7-1 beat down of rival UTSA on Wednesday evening, traversed to the Texas A&M Invite to test their endurance. Taking on well-rounded teams in singular games is challenge enough, but battling Louisiana Tech, Texas A&M and Utah in double headers would be as much about mental endurance as anything. The following games would be testing finishing touch, […]
By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter Success can be hypnotic, a process of repetition. Success can also be wildly emotional, buried in tentative luck and ‘fun’ late-game wins. Success can also be both – hypnotically established by process and athletes who simply love what they are doing. The Texas State softball team are currently embellishing this latter pattern after a series of wild double-headers against a variety of opponents. No matter who […]
By Alexander Haynes Sports Journalist After a brutal loss to the Boston College Eagles last Monday, the Texas State Bobcats softball team needed to rebound and refocus. The season may have just opened, but the opportunity for refinement was a necessity.
