🥎 Fiesta Fiesta!
⛳️ Island Jammin’
🎥 OSUMax: Instant Impact
🤠 And much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Fiesta Fiesta. The party started early and often for the fourth-ranked Cowgirls, who launched their way past #9 Florida State, 9-6, in the opener of the 2025 Puerto Vallarta Collegiate Challenge on Thursday morning.

Tallen Edwards, Micaela Wark and Amanda Hasler all blasted HRs, while Ruby Meylan was dominant in the circle to lead the Cowgirls to a 1-0 start.

🥎: The Full Recap

🔼 Island Jammin’. The OSU softball team isn’t the only ones enjoying a little fun in the sun.

The ninth-ranked men’s golf team opened play at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate in Hawaii in record-setting fashion.

OSU blistered the par-72, 6,913-yard layout at Mauna Lani Resort Golf Club with their 26-under tally to break the school's 18-hole scoring mark of 24-under 264 set twice previously in Hawaii. OSU finished the day two strokes clear of Arizona State and six ahead of North Carolina.

For the second year in a row, sophomore Preston Stout came to the final hole with an opportunity to break the school's 18-hole individual scoring mark. Standing at 10-under through 17, Stout made a par five on his closing hole to once again match the mark with a 62.
