🔵 The Official Daily Newsletter For Kentucky Athletics

Good morning. Women’s basketball kicked off its season last night, and we hope you had fun cheering them on. But why not have even more fun with the team? You’ve got to come to the next women’s clinic.

What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?

🏀 Season opener win for the women
⚾️ Ryan Hagenow interview
🔵 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP 

🔼 Comeback Strong. The women had a tight matchup against ETSU and pulled ahead in the last quarter for a 74-66 win. The Cats were down by two at halftime and tied at 50 after the third quarter. Amiya Jenkins led the team with 16 points, and Ajae Petty had a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds.

🔼 Years of Experience. Ryan Hagenow calls himself the “old guy” on the team after being with Kentucky for his fourth year now. The right-handed pitcher has played in at least seven games since his freshman year and now enters his senior year, where he’s excited to be on a team that makes great plays on a routine basis. Hagenow talks about favorite memories, the coolest stadiums he’s played at, and the team chemistry this season.
