UNA teams compete during spring break

Tennis

The women’s tennis team continued to struggle during spring break as they lost both of their matches. They are now 5-9 on the season after losing four out of their last five matches.

Golf

The golf team participated in the Jim Bishop Toyota Classic March 25-26. After finishing tied for seventh place after the opening round, the Lions fought back to finish tied for third.

Ricky Stimets made the all-tournament team for the Lions, finishing the tournament in 145 strokes.

Baseball

The Lions baseball team went on a roll during the break, winning six straight games after losing their first two games of the week.

The Lions outscored the six teams 32-17 while improving their record to 19-13 (9-6) on the season. UNA is ranked No. 4 in the GSC with 13 games left in the season.

Softball

The UNA softball team continued their successful season during the break as they went 5-1.

The Lions swept West Alabama in a two-game series March 25, split a series with UA-Huntsville March 26 and swept Valdosta State March 29.

The Lions had a batting average of .398 during the break, up from their season batting average of .343. That high batting average resulted in 42 runs driven in over the six-game stretch.

The pitchers were just as effective as the hitters. In the five victories, the Lions’ ERA was 2.94, as they only allowed 14 earned runs in the games UNA won.

The softball team was scheduled to play West Florida in a GSC conference series, but inclement weather caused the games to be cancelled. The games are currently not going to be rescheduled, according to roarlions.com.
