TENNIS
Both tennis teams have young squads,
but both qualified for the American
Southwest Conference Championship.
The women’s team had four new
starters this season and the men had
three. Both teams won a match at the
ASC Tournament and advanced to the
semifinal before losing to eventual
conference champions UT-Tyler.
GOLF
The HSU golf teams both had solid
showings throughout the season. The
women placed third, and the men fourth
at the conference meet. Luke Smith '19
and Baylee Oehlert '20 were both voted
second-team all-conference. It was a
rebuilding year, each team had only one
senior, Aaron Errico '18 for the men and
Kelsie Guinn '18 for the women.
TRACK & FIELD
The track and field teams had some
strong
individual
performances
throughout the year. The men’s team
finished fourth and the women’s team
second at the ASC meet. HSU set seven
new school records on the year and
Hasanai Chanriang '20 qualified for the
NCAA Championship for the second
straight year. The following students set
new school records this year:
Hasanai “Go” Chanriang ’19
Jessica Eastham ’20
Kearra Greer ’21

Lorenzo Jones ’21
Katlynn Nichols ’19
Samantha Pennese ’19
Jonathan Reed ’21
Lauren Robson ’21
Brandon Sparks-Moffett ’20

SOFTBALL
The Cowgirls had a late coaching
change, and with eight seniors
graduating in 2017, it was a season of
change. HSU returned only five players
with experience. The team continued
to improve throughout the season and,
with a solid recruiting class on the
horizon, the future is bright for coach
Chanin Naudin and the Cowgirls.
BASEBALL
The baseball team made the American
Southwest Conference tournament for
the 13th time in the last 14 seasons.
HSU beat top-seed Sul Ross State in the
first round of the tournament before
bowing out. HSU had six seniors on the
team and started a lineup that featured
six sophomores and three seniors
most of the year. HSU will return 27
lettermen next season.
