T

he No. 6 Texas Tech women’s tennis team defeated No. 36 Oklahoma at home on Sunday afternoon, 4-2, in The Falls Tennis and Athletic Club.

Both of the tennis matches this weekend were a success for the Lady Raiders with Tech defeating Oklahoma State, 4-2, on Friday prior to defeating Oklahoma on Sunday.

With a weekend of victories, the Lady Raiders are now on an 11game winning streak, according to

Tech Athletics. The wins improved Tech’s overall record to 18-3 on the season and 6-0 in Big 12 Conference play. The Lady Raiders are undefeated on their own turf with a home record of 7-0.

Tech coach Todd Petty said he was pleased with the way both teams performed on Sunday.

“I thought Oklahoma played a great match, thought they competed very well. They made it really tough on us today,” Petty said. “There was a lot of variables today that made it really rough on you. You would like to think after beating the No. 7 team in the country that you get

to play a true home match against another top-35 RPI team. This was as much of a home match for Oklahoma as it was for us.”

To begin doubles action, juniors Sarah Dvorak and Sabrina Federici defeated Oklahoma freshman Julie Byrne and junior Malene Stripp, 6-4, on court one. Sophomore Alex Valenstein and freshman Alba Cortina-Pou clinched the doubles point to give the Lady Raiders an early lead, 1-0, after defeating freshman Ann Selim and junior Simran Sethi, 6-1.

Budget cuts harmful to local public broadcasts

By JOSHUA ENGARD Staff Writer

In a budget plan released by the United States government, four agencies are to have their combined $971 million budgets eliminated by 2018.

These agencies are: the National Endowment of the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The cuts to the CPB and NEA will affect a number of public radio broadcasting stations funded all over the U.S., including KTTZ-FM, Texas Tech’s Public Broadcasting station, which has served the South Plains area for more than 30 years.

“If funding for the CPB is cut, or even eliminated, there will be varying levels of stress,” Clinton Barrick, station director of KTTZ-FM, said. “It’s going to create a lot of headaches, and I will have to make a lot of hard choices about programing I’d

rather not have to make.”

KTTZ-FM will lose the 12-13 percent of its funding it currently receives from CPB, which is not enough of a deficit to take the station off the air, he said. However, small-market stations will have a much more difficult time.

“These stations rely on the CPB for 75 and up to 80 percent of their budget,” Barrick said. “They serve a large area where there is not a

large population. So, there is little public funding to be had.”

Like many radio hosts and station directors of public broadcast radio, Barrick said he has always been wary of the possibility of budget cuts to programs that support the arts. Barrick has maintained daily communication with fellow broadcasters.

Garth Brooks waves to the crowd on Thursday during his first performance of his five-show stop in the United Supermarkets Arena. Brooks finished his fifth show Sunday in the United Supermarkets Arena.

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

The clock, on the back of a rotating lowercase “g,” counted down the seconds.

Once the countdown reached zero, the four-sided screen switched to showing footage of past concerts before it was lifted into the air to reveal a drummer in a spherical cage and others ready to play their own instruments.

With lights, smoke and high fives for the closest audience members, Garth Brooks’ concert began.

Opening with performances

by Brian Kennedy and Sunny Sweeney, Brooks performed five shows in four days in the United Supermarkets Arena.

At a Thursday news conference, Brooks said he was excited to be back in Lubbock after 20 years.

“This is like coming home from Oklahoma,” Brooks said. “I’m amazed how much this state has let me be like an adopted son of theirs. So, this will be a lot of fun.”

Brooks said he chose Lubbock because West Texas has always been a fun area to him, and that is what the concerts are about.

The audience roared with excitement at Brooks’ well-known songs like “Friends in Low Places” and “Callin’ Baton Rouge,” with images on the screens displayed alongside live footage of the performance and the colors of the lights in constant change to reflect themes of the songs.

Sarah Cotton, an attendee from Midland, said she listens to Brooks’ music two to three times a week.

“I like that he doesn’t stick to one particular (genre),” Cotton said. “He knows fast songs, slow songs, and he covers pretty much the gamut of taste.”

Cotton said she missed the first round of ticket purchasing, but

she managed to get the tickets later online.

About halfway through the concert, Brooks’ wife Trisha Yearwood, who also hosts the cooking show “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” came on the stage for a duet with Brooks before singing a few of her own songs including “PrizeFighter” and “She’s In Love With The Boy.” During the news conference, Yearwood said her husband’s best quality is his generosity.

“I always thought, ‘Nobody’s this nice. The other issues got to follow at some point,’” Yearwood said, “and he really is who he portrays himself to be.”

Yearwood’s best quality is how she never changes for good and bad, Brooks said.

Mackenzie Gerber, a sophomore education major from Nazareth, Texas, said country music, like what Brooks performs, is appealing because the lyrics discuss relatable topics.

“It tells a story,” Gerber said. “It talks about how you grow up and just your life in general.”

Starting with Yearwood’s performance and throughout Brooks’ remaining songs, other members of the band were introduced to the audience, such as Jimmy Mattingly on fiddle and acoustic guitar, and band leader David Gant on keyboard.

People who see him perform only once make up 99 percent of the audience, Brooks said, which means there is only one shot to get them to return for another show.

“The goal for me is they look at that ticket, they look at that price and go, ‘You know what, if this cat comes back, I’ll be here,’” Brooks said.

Brooks' tour continues Friday at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico. @KirbyWarner_DT

American Medical Association recognizes Jenkins for work in women’s health care

By MARISA POJTINGER Staff Writer

For her work in women’s health at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Dr. Marjorie Jenkins was recognized by the American Medical Association with the Elizabeth Blackwell Award.

Jenkins works as a professor in the School of Medicine and serves as the chief scientific officer in the Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health, according to an HSC news release.

The Elizabeth Blackwell Award is given to physicians who make an outstanding contribution to the cause of women in the field of medicine, according to the release. The award was established in 1949 by Dr. Elise S. L’Esperance to advance women in the field of medicine while recognizing women dedicated to solving women’s health

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “We hear this all the time,” Barrick said. “Year after year we hear this, but we manage to soldier on, and I hope we can do that this time, too.”

In addition to station support from the CPB, the NEA has been able to support the individual people working in the field, such as Alexa Vogelzang, an onair host of KTTZ-FM and former director of the Lub-

care issues.

Jenkins is receiving this award for her service as the founding director of the HSC JENKINS Sex and Gender-Based Health Curriculum Program and as the co-chair of the President’s Task Force on Sex and Gender-Based Medicine. Sex and gender-based medicine studies marks the biological differences between men and women, and how the manifestations, mechanisms and treatment of diseases vary as a function of the complex relationship between the two sexes, Jenkins said.

When she started her studies in the late 1990s, Jenkins said, she found evidence in scientific literature that the majority of the research conducted was on men, and the results

were then applied to women.

“It just ethically didn’t sit right well with me. It’s obvious that men and women’s bodies react differently, and react to different medicine,” Jenkins said.

“Internationally there is a swell of women’s health movement and people needed to be more included, which is why we need the upswing and push for more women’s studies.”

After years of telling people she was in women’s medicine, people automatically assumed she was ready to deliver a baby or take out a uterus. However, these are some of the biggest misconceptions about women who work in the medical field.

“We are not just about ‘bikini medicine,’” Jenkins said. “I started calling myself a ‘womanologist,’ as I define (myself) as someone who studies sex and gender not just women, because those things are nothing near to

what I do.”

Jenkins said women’s unique health care needs are a challenge to health care professionals when designing approaches to providing women’s health information, and disease diagnosis and treatment.

Ultimately, this is what inspired her to start an organization dedicated to educating professionals and patients alike on the differences between men’s and women’s medicine, Jenkins said. Jenkins also founded the Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health within the HSC in August 2007. Since its establishment, the institute’s administration has been successful in establishing campuses in Amarillo, El Paso, Lubbock, San Angelo and the Permian Basin, she said.

According to its website, the Laura W. Bush Institute is committed to developing an

institution-wide infrastructure to benefit women’s health, which is a global issue spanning disciplines, communities, gender and ethnicity.

Angela Knapp, senior director of community outreach for the Laura W. Bush Institute, served as the former executive assistant to Jenkins when she was founding the institution in 2007. Knapp said she came into the field with minimal experience in academic medicine and little knowledge in sex and gender-based medicine.

But, because of Jenkins’ effectiveness and willingness to be not only a colleague but also a friend, it was obvious what type of impact she was making on the world around her, Knapp said.

“I found her to be effective, loving and someone who is always thinking how do we do it better, more efficiently, with more impact,” Knapp said. “She

had a new concept every day on how to advance the Laura Bush Institute with a fiercely protective method of taking the mission of the institute to the next level, and the next, and then the next.”

Now, in her current position, Knapp said she continues to serve with the same sense of integrity that began with Jenkins, because of the legacy she left and her determination to make a difference in the lives of men and women.

“I knew right off the bat that I was working with an accomplished perfectionist who was seldom deterred by naysayers, challenges or pitfalls. She had an enviable drive and work ethic that made everyone around her want to emulate her passion and determination,” Knapp said.

“Few achieve as much as Dr. Jenkins in such a short amount of time.”

bock Symphony Orchestra.

In her time as director, Vogelzang said, she received a grant from the NEA to bring classical music to venues that would likely not be exposed to that sort of content otherwise. With her grant, she was able to organize shows in the Lubbock County Juvenile Justice Center as well as two local alternative institutions.

“It was exciting because it was the first NEA grant the orchestra had received in at least 10

years,” Vogelzang said. “ We w e r e a b l e t o g i v e these students access to things they normally would not have.”

Like Barrick, Vogelzang said she was wary of budget cuts from hearing about them on an almost yearly basis. And, her reaction to the budget eliminations reflected that.

“I was disappointed but also very wary,” Vogelzang said. “When budget cuts are brought up, the arts were always on the cutting block.”

Now with the financial eliminations of these programs, Vogelzang said she is left with many questions.

“My question now is, who will provide exposure to things like classical and live music without the NEA?” Vogelzang said.

“Without the arts, what kind of life do we have?

People are worried about everything from if they will have a job to what will happen on a national level if there are no programs like these.”

In the aftermath of these

budget cuts, many people in the public broadcasting world feel the need to take a stand in an effort to preserve the programs that have made the industry possible for almost 50 years, she said.

“I would encourage people that, if they care about the quality of their public radio, they should get involved, let their voices be heard,” Vogelzang said, “sign petitions, write their congressmen.”

Like Vogelzang, Barrick said he encourages people to support the

continuation of the arts programs because of the return value they provide.

“The average taxpayer cost for programs like these is only a few cents per person, per year,” Barrick said. “And the return they get is 24-hour broadcasting of smart radio for smart people: classical music, jazz music and talk radio where people can unpack their ideas and their diverse opinions with no shouting and no commercial breaks.”

Four Sioux tribes are still suing to try to halt the project, which they say threatens their water supply, cultural sites and religious rights.

But they’ve faced a string of setbacks in court since President Donald Trump moved into the White House.

Despite the setbacks, Dakota Access protest organizers don’t view their efforts as wasted. They say the protests helped raise awareness nationwide about their broader push for cleaner energy and greater respect for the rights of indigenous people.

“The opportunity to build awareness started at Standing Rock and it’s spreading out to other areas of the United States,” said Dave Archambault, the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which has led the legal push to shut down the pipeline project.

As protesters left the area in southern North Dakota where the Dakota Access pipeline crosses under a Missouri River reservoir that serves as the tribes’ water supply, organizers called on them to take the fight to other parts of the

country where pipelines are in the works.

The tactics used in North Dakota — resistance camps, prominent use of social media, online fundraising — are now being used against several projects. They include the Sabal Trail pipeline that will move natural gas from Alabama to Florida; the Trans-Pecos natural gas pipeline in Texas; the Diamond pipeline that will carry oil from Oklahoma to Tennessee; and the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline that will move natural gas from Pennsylvania to Virginia.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Prolonged protests in North Dakota have failed to stop the flow of oil through the Dakota Access pipeline, at least for now, but they have provided inspiration and a blueprint for protests against pipelines in other states.

Democratic senator says he’ll support Gorsuch WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly said Sunday he’ll support the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, the third Democrat to break with the party as Republicans line up behind President Donald Trump’s choice for the high court.

With 52 Republican senators, eight votes from Democrats or the Senate’s two independents would be needed to advance the nomination and prevent a filibuster. So far, only Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia — all representing states Trump won in November and all up for re-election next year — have said they will vote to confirm Gorsuch.

Hours before Donnelly’s announcement, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he didn’t expect Gorsuch to receive 60 votes to overcome a filibuster threat.

American Business Clubs hosts 75th annual rodeo

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

The American Business Clubs hosted its 75th Annual Pro Rodeo at the Lubbock Municipal City Bank Coliseum for Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m.

Once the coliseum was filling up, the announcer welcomed attendees and informed them about that night’s theme, American Hero Night, with the purpose of honoring U.S. soldiers both dead and alive.

Sean Barrett, a junior sociology major from Lubbock, said he came to see the rodeo because of his love for them.

“My grandmother’s a barrel racer,” Barrett said, “and I’ve always gone to it for probably about 17 years.”

Barrett said he looked forward to steer wrestling the most because that is the event he would compete in if he could.

The order of events for the rodeo was the first round of bull riding, bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, mutton busting, calf roping, barrel racing and another round of

Tech hosts 5th annual arts, culture symposium

By AKHILA REDDY Staff Writer

Sowoon Arts and Heritage is a nonprofit organization committed to creating opportunities for people to experience diverse arts and cultural heritage.

On Saturday afternoon, the Museum of Texas Tech University and Sowoon Arts and Heritage co-hosted the fifth annual International Arts and Culture Symposium in the Helen Devitt Jones Auditorium.

Kyungah Nam, president of Sowoon Arts and Heritage, said the organization hosts the symposium, so the Lubbock community can gain a deeper understanding of different cultures. The theme of this year ’s symposium was marriage, because it is a practice that is relevant to all cultures.

“So, you know, we like to focus on family and marriage, especially because marriage is important to all human societies. So, we want to promote, to show, to present this to the Lubbock community,” Nam said.

“Wedding customs are beautiful in every country.”

Janis Blackwell, a director on the board of Sowoon, said the event is a unique opportunity to get a glimpse into cultures that Americans might not get a lot of exposure to.

“We’re becoming more and more a global society, and the more we know about different cultures, the better we will be and the more understanding we will be,” Blackwell said. “And this symposium is a chance to do that.”

The symposium began with a presentation by David Cho, director of the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra. He discussed wedding music and its cultural significance before performing on the piano. Cho was followed

by Tech professors Rachel Anderson — who discussed wedding apparel through history — and Joseph Hodes, who discussed Indian marriages and customs.

An authentic Korean traditional wedding ceremony was hosted later in the day.

Hyojung Cho, an associate professor of heritage management who helped organize the ceremony, said the bride and groom in the ceremony, though legally married, had not previously had an official ceremony.

“A real couple, and especially family of a student at Texas Tech, were willing to actually perform this ceremony, and we’re so lucky to have them,” Cho said. “This is their real wedding ceremony.”

Cho said she found the groom and bride, Lennard and Jessica van Haaften,

through one of her students.

Jessica van Haaften’s sister is one of her students, and when Hyojung heard they were newlyweds, she asked the couple to participate in the ceremony.

Having the opportunity to participate in this event was incredible, Lennard Van

Haaften said.

“I mean we got a chance to actually do this traditional ceremony with all these incredible clothes and be a part of traditions that have gone on for centuries,” Van Haaften said. “Yeah, this was really special.” @AkhilaReddyDT

bull riding.

Casey Farrington, a bull rider from Collbran, Colorado, said he moved up from riding sheep to calves, steers and junior bulls before riding bulls for pro rodeo.

“It just always called to me more than some of the other events,” Farrington said, “and it just turned out I was good at it.”

There were some instances during the bull riding when the bulls nearly trampled fallen riders and chased after men working as protection, while the announcer reminded the audience of the potential danger.

Thomas Strube, a native of Roundup, said raising money for disabled children is one of the aspects that makes ABC Pro Rodeo stand out.

“They’re not doing it to put money in their pocket,” Strube said. “They’re doing it for a good cause.”

The proceeds from the show will go to the Lubbock Boys and Girls Club, the announcer said.

During the barrel racing event, Texas Tech alumna Carley Richardson managed to ride around all three barrels without knocking them

over in 14.16 seconds, which was the fastest time out of all the racers.

The final two events of the evening were a second round of bull riding and bull fighting.

Bull fighting is where a contestant would try to direct a bull around an enclosed section of the coliseum, with points gained based on how the contestant steered and controlled the bull, and how close he was to the bull.

Farrington said the part he loves most about being in a rodeo is the camaraderie.

It is a good feeling how everyone looks after each other, Farrington said.

“Especially this year, I’ve been down in the southern states and bumped into a lot of guys that I met in high school and haven’t seen since then,” Farrington said. @KirbyWarner_DT

ining something sacred.”

This feeling stems from love for the show and is similar to what one might feel toward euthanasia.

Just as you do not want someone you love to live a jeopardized life — incognizant and attached to machines — you also do not want your favorite show to continue producing mediocre material being held up by the crutches of its existing fan base.

As a fan of “South Park,” my puritanical love for the show has left me yearning for the show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, to pull the plug ever since season 14. Once, I prided myself

on knowing the ins and outs of every episode. I was an adoring fan and was, therefore, evangelical about the show. I knew the positive effect watching the show would have on one’s life.

We are now in season 19, and those days are long past. When people tell me they watched “South Park” for the first time, I become scared.

If they tell me their experience was on an episode post season 14, my fear is confirmed. I, then, become angry that they have been so misinformed on something that was and still is dear to me.

I often plead with them to go back and watch an earlier episode, but sometimes it is just too late.

The first impression has already been made.

After a bad first impression, it is often too late. Ac-

often ask if he has seen the “Petarded” episode, an amazing episode from season four. If the answer is no, then I urge him to do so before forming an opinion.

Seth MacFarlane, the creator of “Family Guy,” and Stone and Parker, creators of “South Park,” are not completely finished as artists, and I am not urging them to put the pen down and retire.

MacFarlane recently had success with the “Ted” movies, while Stone and Parker just made a musical called “The Book of Mormon,” which won nine Tony awards.

Hopefully, they will focus on what they are good at — like this new material, for example — and leave their once-beloved shows behind them.

This problem spans much further than adult cartoons like “Family

Guy” and “South Park.”

“How I Met Your Mother” eventually pulled the plug, but it overstayed its welcome by about five seasons. Shows like “Lost” and “Prison Break” are equally guilty.

Will this trend stop?

Probably not. New shows are risky and may not always strike a chord with the public.

The networks know these existing shows will still make money, because people would rather watch something they are familiar with than try something new. Money is more important to them than artistic legacy.

I just hope Stone and Parker are humble enough to call it quits before there are more bad “South Park” episodes in circulation than good ones. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Selena’s career transformed pop culture

A

s a little girl, I remember my brother watching the “Selena” movie time after time.

Constantly, he would listen to her music, even though he cannot speak Spanish to this day.

In high school, on the anniversary of her death, her music was played in the hallway during passing periods.

In my speech class last semester, a classmate’s hero speech was about Selena.

The point is, throughout the entirety of my life, I’ve seen how much Selena has continuously impacted others.

This past spring break, I was driving through Lake Jackson, her birth place, and I began asking my mom about her death, her music and just her life, in general.

Naturally, my mom told

me to look it up for myself because she didn’t know the exact details of everything.

Tragically, I found out that after her manager embezzled money from the Selena fan club, Selena went to go confront her.

Selena’s manager then shot her once on her lower right shoulder, which caused her to die less than an hour and a half later from cardiac arrest and excessive blood loss, according to Billboard.

At 23 years old, this beautiful, talented young lady had her life taken away from her.

I’ve heard some say the impact of her death was

as great as Elvis Presley’s and John F. Kennedy’s; it was that significant.

She wasn’t just any ordinary music artist: she was beautiful and down-toearth; she was determined and driven; and she was just incredibly talented.

Interestingly, when she was performing, some people would say she wasn’t a good role model for young girls because her clothes were too revealing.

Reflecting on Selena today, some would say she was a good role model for women because of that.

She was known as one of the first women to publicly fight against society’s perception of feminine beauty. She didn’t mind wearing revealing outfits as long as she felt comfortable in them.

She didn’t think every woman had to look the same.

She didn’t think every woman had to be thin, young or beautiful in the way society would expect. She didn’t believe the way she dressed or appeared reflected who she was as a person.

She knew that only her actions could reflect who she was as a person.

At 23 years old, this beautiful, talented young lady had her life taken away from her.

Along with her impact on the feminist world, Selena had a huge impact on the music world, as well. She was the bridge for the Tejano genre to enter in the mainstream pop culture.

Inducted into one hall of fame after another, she was also the bridge for Latina singers to become a part of the American pop culture.

Selena broke the glass ceiling that hadn’t yet been touched in the music world.

I will remember her for that.

As others were still mourning over her death anniversary this weekend, I gave her praises.

I will always remember her for the bridges she built and crossed in the music world.

I will always remember her and her fight against society’s expectations of females. I will always remember her for the hope she gave to other minority artists who wanted to move up in the world.

I thank her for it all. opinions@dailytoreador.com

cording to some psychologists, after making a first impression on someone, that person will spend the rest of his encounters with you trying to justify the initial judgment.

By continuing to churn out mediocre material, these shows are becoming more vulnerable to negative first impressions by new fans and critics.

If “South Park” continues for a couple of more years, there may eventually be more bad episodes than good.

In other words, the chance of a negative first impression will outweigh that of a good one.

This is also the case for “Family Guy.” Now, I cannot pinpoint exactly when it fell off, but I would probably say somewhere around 2010.

Offense evens spring series against defense

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

With the defense tallying the first win of the spring season, 50-36, on March 26, and the offense rallying back to grab the second win, 49-31, the Red Raiders will have one final spring scrimmage in a winner-take-all contest.

The scrimmage is set to begin at 7 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

The Texas Tech offense evened out the series against the defense with a victory on Saturday at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys’ world headquarters, in Frisco. Senior quarterback Nic Shimonek was 26-33 in completions and threw for 273 passing yards and three passing touchdowns.

Junior wide receiver Keke Coutee and senior wide receiver Derrick Willies each caught one of S h i m o n e k ’s t o u c h d o w n passes from seven yards out, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Shimonek also threw junior wide receiver Tony Brown a 35-yard touchdown pass

down the right sideline.

Coutee had 55 receiving yards and five receptions during the scrimmage and led all Tech receivers in yards, according to the release. Sophomore running back Da’Leon Ward and senior wide receiver Cameron Batson each had five receptions, as well, with Batson having 38 receiving yards and Ward coming up with 26. For Willies, he finished the game with four receptions for 39 receiving yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, junior defensive back Kisean Allen tallied six tackles. Sophomore linebacker Brayden Stringer and senior defensive back D.J. Polite-Bray each had five tackles to end the day, according to the release.

Sophomore defensive lineman Lonzell Gilmore had one of the defense’s three sacks and finished with four tackles during the scrimmage.

Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Houston Miller and sophomore linebacker Coltin Nied each came up with the other two sacks made by the defense,

The defense continued to push, registering four pass breakups, no fumbles and one quarterback sack.

Gilmore was also responsible for the cut in the offense’s lead just before halftime when he batted a pass from junior quarterback Payne Sullins that fell straight into the arms of redshirt freshman defensive lineman Nick McCann, who ran it in for a touchdown and had the only interception in the game, according to the release.

Oklahoma hands Tech second Big 12 loss of season

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

The No. 3 Texas Tech baseball team was handed its second loss of the three-game series to No. 24 Oklahoma, 5-4. The Red Raiders fell to the Sooners on Sunday in Norman, Oklahoma.

In the first game against Oklahoma on Friday, Tech was handed its first Big 12 Conference loss of the season, 6-2, according to Tech Athletics. However, the Red Raiders redeemed themselves and rallied back for the win on Saturday, 9-4.

After the series against Oklahoma, Tech now has an overall record of 25-6 on the season, according to Tech Athletics. The Red Raiders have an away record of 8-3 and are 4-2 in conference play.

With the two wins in the series, the Sooners now have an overall record of 25-6 on the season, according to Oklahoma Athletics. In conference play, Oklahoma holds a record of 4-2.

Three pitchers were on the mound for Tech, with sophomore right-handed pitcher Ryan Shetter starting and pitching four innings, ac-

cording to Oklahoma Athletics. Shetter struck out three batters, and allowed three hits and three runs. Junior left-handed pitcher Jacob Patterson replaced Shetter and pitched for one inning before being replaced by junior right hander Jose Quezada.

Quezada threw for two innings and struck out three batters, but also allowed one run for the loss, which puts him at 3-2 on the season, according to Oklahoma Athletics.

Tech capitalized offensively with six Red Raiders registering hits, according to Oklahoma Athletics.

Freshman catcher Michael Berglund had one hit and one RBI, and he also tallied his second home run of the season. Junior infielder Orlando Garcia went 2-2 at the plate with two runs and an RBI double.

In the first inning, the Red Raiders could not produce at the plate as the Sooners held the momentum and tallied three runs to take the lead, 3-0. Sophomore outfielder Steele Walker hit an RBI single to allow a Sooner to score and take the one-run lead.

Senior Renae Martinez

brought in the next two runs for Oklahoma after hitting an RBI double to right field.

The second inning remained scoreless as neither team could register a run, according to Oklahoma Athletics. However, the Red Raiders picked up the pace in the third inning. With Garcia on third, senior infielder Ryan Long hit a sacrifice RBI to close the deficit, 3-1.

The Red Raiders took the lead, 4-3, after registering three runs in the top of the fourth. Berglund was the first to bat in the inning and hit a solo home run to make it a two-run ball game, according to Oklahoma Athletics. With Davis on second, Garcia hit an RBI single up the middle to send Davis in to score. After Garcia stole second to put himself in scoring position, sophomore outfielder Cody Farhat sent Garcia home off an RBI single to center field.

Oklahoma kept pushing forward as the Sooners rallied to tie the game in the fifth inning. After Walker reached first base on fielder’s choice, senior outfielder Ben Hollas scored to even the game at 4-4, according to

In singles action, Oklahoma’s Byrne swept Valenstein in two sets of 6-2 and 7-5 to tie up the match, 1-1.

On court one, junior Gabriela Talaba was able to regain the lead for Tech after she defeated junior Lily Miyazaki in two sets of 6-3 and 6-4 to make the score, 2-1.

“I thought Gabriela played a great match in No.

Oklahoma Athletics.

From the sixth through the eighth innings, neither the Red Raiders nor the Sooners could register a run as the score remained tied, according to Oklahoma Athletics.

The Red Raiders had the first chance on offense in the ninth inning to grab the win over the Sooners.

However, two batters struck out and one grounded out to give Oklahoma the chance to take the win, according to Oklahoma Athletics. It only took one pitch for the Sooners to grab the final win of the series as junior infielder Kyle Mendenhall hit a solo home run to grab the one-run victory, 5-4.

After a suffering two loss-

es this weekend, the Red Raiders will look to get back in the win column as they travel to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to face New Mexico State at 3 p.m. on Tuesday.

Tech will then return home to host Big 12 opponents the Baylor Bears for a threegame series starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

1 singles,” Petty said. “I mean Lily’s a top-25 player, and I thought she played really well today. And Gabriela coming off of the Oklahoma State match where she didn’t have her best tennis and kind of got beat pretty soundly. To respond the way she did, get that quick point off the court, did a really good job for us.”

Sophomore Felicity Maltby increased the Lady Raider lead to 3-1 after she swept senior Mimi Fotopoulos in two sets, 6-4, 6-3. On court

four, Dvorak fell in three sets, 6-4, 2-6, 3-6, to give Oklahoma a point and close the deficit, 3-2.

In the end, it was down to courts five and six to determine which team would prevail. On court five, Federici defeated Selim in two sets, 6-4, 6-3, to make the score 4-2 and end the match with the Lady Raiders’ protecting home court and taking the victory.

“Every week, it’s a new person stepping up, it’s a

new group of girls stepping up, and so, we’re happy that it was a different group of girls this time than it was at Oklahoma State on Friday,” petty said. “They can lean on each other, and that’s what this sport is about.”

The top-ranked Lady Raiders will continue their home stretch as they host Iowa State at 3 p.m. Friday at the McLeod Tennis Center. Tech will then host West Virginia at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.
