📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Welcome! The Kentucky women’s basketball team has a new head coach. Kenny Brooks is the ninth head coach in the women’s basketball program. Brooks recently took Virginia Tech to the 2023 NCAA Final Four and won the 2024 Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season championship. He has a career record of 517-204 (71.7%) through 22 seasons as a head coach.

🔼 Getting Creative. The baseball team made its game against Miami a creative one. The Cats pulled out a 9-5 victory after being down 5-2 in the sixth inning. How? Smart at-bats. Kentucky had bases loaded in the seventh inning. Two batters walked, and two were hit by a pitch to tie the game. Next, the bats got hot.

🔼 Pacing the Team. For the ninth-straight event, Alex Goff has led the Kentucky men’s golf team. Goff tied for 14th place with a score of 215 (-1). This was his seventh consecutive event finishing under par also. As a team, the Cats scored 881 (+17) to finish in 12th place.

🔼 Comeback Dub. The softball team faced Dayton and had a big comeback to win the game 4-3. Cassie Reaser had her first career start and banged out two big hits. Lauryn Borzilleri brought in the game-winning run on an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth.
