Bobcats host Conference Tournament
, The Bobcats are looking to bring home their first conference tournament championship since 2018. With Texas State hosting their first conference tournament since 2019, Head Coach Ricci Woodard has noticed a difference in energy with this season’s team compared to last season. “I felt pretty decent going into the tournament last year,” Woodard said. “But there is a different feel with this group. I don’t know if it is experience or maybe we have been there and done that, or we are playing at home. But there is a different feeling.” One of the reasons for that difference has been experience.

Texas State Quarterfinal Game against Marshall postponed to Friday
Texas State Sun Belt Quarterfinal game against Marshall has been postponed to Friday at 1 p.m. due the weather. The Bobcats and the Thundering Herd were unable to get off the first pitch when the game was delayed due to lightning. During the delay, a powerful storm cell passed over San Marcos with high winds and heavy rain causing the tarp that had been covering the field to flip over itself allowing the rain to soak the dirt infield. The high winds also caused some of the tents that were placed for the media postgame interviews to fly into Bobcat Ballpark’s left field and be stuck in the outfield netting. Due to the infield being soaked in rain, the decision was made to postpone the game between Texas State and Marshall till Friday at 1 p.m. The winner will play later that day in the Sun Belt semifinals against South Alabama.

Bobcats release 2024 volleyball schedule
Texas State officially released the 2024 schedule for the upcoming fall season. The Bobcats will play three non-conference tournaments as well as non-conference games against UTSA, Texas A&M and Hawaii.
