🔼 “Two” Good. The women’s tennis team started off with a sweep, and the men carried on the mojo, beating both Northern Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky on Monday. The men dominated with two 7-0 victories to start the season 2-0. Want to see the men in action? Check out their Twitter for clips of matches. 

🔼 Fan Girl Alert. The women’s basketball team showed up to South Carolina to play a game as usual. But that all changed when a very important someone was in the building. Vice President Kamala Harris stopped by the facility and gave words of praise and encouragement to the Cats.
