Volleyball Signing
The school has an Ivy-League type feel. There’s a volleyball specific gym. It’s great. 
– Alysha McCreary
Alysha McCreary, a 6-2 middle blocker from San Angelo, Texas, signed her LOI on Monday.
McCreary is originally from California but moved to San Angelo’s Central High when her father got a job with the Angelo State’s volleyball team.
She chose UCA over Sam Houston, Coastal Carolina and obviously Angelo State.
In her one season at Central HIgh she "was named to the District 2-5A first team and was a member of the All-West Texas team after tallying 312 kills, 92 solo blocks, 102 block assists and 29 aces in her lone season in a Lady Cats’ uniform."

The baseball Bears failed to win the series at home against Texas State. But they were able to overcome a 10th-inning 12-11 loss on Saturday and win Sunday’s finale with good pitching from Bobby Pritchett and good hitting all around.
The Bears had as many or more hits in all three games, but Texas State found ways to win the first two. Saturdays’ game featured the long ball, 5 homers from each team. Even with a second day of strong winds, Jonathan Yerby’s solo homer was the only one of the day. Catcher Eric Tennyson was 4-for-4 on Sunday. The only Bear to not record a hit was Dillon Smith, but he reached three times via walks.
Pritchett was good – not great – in throwing 137 pitches and allowing just four runs in 8 innings. He and Friday‘s starter Jeremy Cloud combined to throw 262 pitches.
The women’s sports were either dominant or dominated.
The tennis team was swept 7-0 at Lamar and falls to 0-8 in SLC play.
The softball Bears swept Northwestern State at home. And for their efforts, the weekly SLC awards were swept by UCA players. Sarah Garcia was named the SLC Hitter of the Week and junior Holli Hill the Southland Pitcher of the Week.
The Bears outscored Northwestern State 16-4 and are now 19-20 and 10-8 in conference. That’s good enough for 6th in the standings. It can’t be said enough how impressive this turnaround has been in just one offseason.
