May’s ascension to the NCBWA President role comes after serving on the organization’s Board of Directors and as the Vice President in 2023. Hailing from Lexington, Kentucky, May has been the primary baseball publicist since the 2017 season and has worked for UK Athletics Communications and Public Relations since September of 2016.

Coach Borst expressed her delight with the new class, stating, “We have a really strong class coming in next fall, and it’s a group that we are very proud of. It’s a diverse group of players from near and far, who all bring something different to our team. I think Big Blue Nation will love what they all bring to the table. We have big shoes to fill within the Kentucky women’s golf program in the years to come, and I know that these players, along with our returners next season, are ready for that task and more!”

The Kentucky Pitching Academy will take place on November 27, December 4, and December 11 from 6pm to 7pm. Pitchers must bring their own catcher, whether it be a parent, guardian, teammate, friend, or sibling. Camp check-in will open up 30 minutes prior to the start time.

The women’s team will kick off the action with a 6,000-meter race at 11:00 a.m. EDT, followed by the men’s 10,000-meter race at noon EDT. Assistant coach Hakon DeVries is hoping for a strong performance from the teams, following a disappointing showing at the conference championship meet.

The standout performer of the game was freshman Rob Dillingham, who led all scorers with an impressive 17 points. Fellow freshman guard D.J. Wagner also had a solid performance, contributing 13 points. Additionally, freshmen Justin Edwards and Reed Sheppard each scored 12 points, while senior Antonio Reeves added 11 points to the scoreboard.

Among the standout signees is defender Emerson Andrews from Highland Park, Texas. She has had an impressive youth career, playing for the No. 2 ranked ECNL team and reaching the national semifinals and finals. Ella Dykstra from St. Joseph, Missouri is another notable addition, having been selected for the ODP Regional and National Teams.

Hailing from Brady High School in Texas, Probst has made quite a name for herself as a member of the Texas Hill Country Shooting team. Her stellar performances have not gone unnoticed, and Kentucky head coach Harry Mullins is thrilled to have her join the program.

The Thundering Herd sought redemption after losing to the Wildcats just 17 days prior. With a spot in the championship at stake, both teams battled fiercely in the first half, but neither could break the scoreless deadlock. However, four minutes into the second half, Marshall’s Alvaro Garcia-Pascual changed the momentum in their favor. The junior forward stole the ball, made a brilliant run past two Wildcat defenders, and scored a clinical finish into the bottom right corner of the net.

Coach Borst expressed her excitement about the incoming class, stating, “We have a really strong class coming in next fall, and it’s a group that we are very proud of. It’s a diverse group of players from near and far, who all bring something different to our team. I think Big Blue Nation will love what they all bring to the table. We have big shoes to fill within the Kentucky women’s golf program in the years to come, and I know that these players, along with our returners next season, are ready for that task and more!”

Coach Skinner had high praise for the incoming players, describing them as “students, people, and ballers!” He emphasized their dedication both on and off the court, noting their commitment to excelling in the classroom as well as their fierce competitiveness. According to Skinner, their exceptional skills and explosiveness will have an immediate impact on the team’s performance.
