Welcome Back Bulldog Faithful
By John Scognamiglio
Happy Belated Easter folks and since there is no issue of the Index out this week let me bring you rabid Bulldog sports fans up to speed:
Baseball: The 'Dogs dropped four straight to nationally-ranked Central Missouri this past weekend bringing their futility streak to 20 games. That's 20 games without a victory. The last time the Bulldogs won was a 4-3 decision over Missouri Southern on March 16. That put the record of your Truman State Bulldog baseball team to 6-8, and now, it's 6-28.
Softball: The 'Dogs split four games at the highly competitive Northwest Missouri Tournament over Friday and Saturday. The 'Dogs took down Upper Iowa and Central Missouri but lost key MIAA match to Emporia State. The 'Dogs also lost to Minnesota State Mankato. As standings go, there is a three-way tie for fourth in the conference standings with Central Missouri, Truman and Missouri Western. The 'Dogs also have five matchups left with MIAA opponents before Conference Make-Up Day and the MIAA tourney begins.
Tennis: The men's and women's tennis teams were in action in Minnesota this past weekend and each team won both their matches against Minnesota State Mankato and Winona State. The men's team avenged an earlier loss to Winona State and moved their record to 8-5 and that much closer to garnering an NCAA berth. The women moved to 12-5 and each have one more match left on the season before the MIAA tourney.
Track: Both teams were at the Division II Challenge this past weekend. On the women's side, no individuals finished in first place, but three Bulldog athletes finished as runners-up. Ashley Colon finished second in the hammer throw, Jacqui Faust finished number two in the 5,000 meter run, and Danna Kelly took home the silver in the steeplechase. Sean Bergstedt was the highest Bulldog male finisher as he captured third in the 400 meter hurdles.
Golf: Women's golf participated in the Illini Spring Classic over the weekend and finished 13th out of 16 teams. Julie Williams was the highest scoring Bulldog on the weekend shooting 158 over the two-day event. She was the fourth highest Division II player in the field.
Finally, congratulations to Randy Beilsmith and Abbie Smith for receiving outstanding academic awards in their respective fields. Beilsmith was Outstanding Undergraduate student in business administration/finance while Smith was named Outstanding Undergraduate student in exercise science.
Thus, this was the weekend in sports for Bulldog fans.
