Covering UMHB Athletics and the stories behind the score
MARSHALL, Texas — Twice UMHB experienced the heartbreak of ending up on the wrong side of a walk-off on Saturday. Both came in the span of just over four hours, the second perhaps more painful than the first, a season-ender that seemed to unfold very slowly even as it played out in real-time.
BELTON — Addy Todd broke for third base, then turned the corner and headed home in perhaps the most memorable play of Monday’s doubleheader.
SAINT PETER, Minnesota — For much of the 2025-26 season, Mary Hardin-Baylor was the team that opponents with a halftime lead feared, as The Cru mounted numerous second-half comebacks all the way up to last Saturday’s ASC championship game win over Hardin-Simmons.
SAINT PETER, Minn. — UMHB head coach Sam Patterson calls Hudson Johnson “one of the most fearless guards” he has ever been around. On Friday night in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament, Johnson showed why.
ABILENE — The goal was put in place 170 days before it was achieved.
ABILENE — The shot was good from the moment it left Karlee Cronk’s hands.
ABILENE — When two teams are meeting for the third time in five weeks, as UMHB and ETBU did in Friday’s American Southwest Conference Tournament semifinal, there is very little about either side’s gameplan that comes as a surprise for the opponent.
BELTON — The bats got hot starting with Shorey Nguyen’s double in the first inning of Game 1 in Monday’s home opener. And they never really cooled off until Madelyn Denn’s RBI double gave UMHB a run-rule victory in Game 2.
BELTON — Elijah Lawrence and his UMHB teammates came into Saturday’s regular season finale not knowing whether or not they would get another chance to play in front of their home crowd this season.
BELTON — UMHB’s seniors knew they had just one game left inside the Mayborn Campus Center when they took the court for Saturday’s regular season finale against Howard Payne, and they were intent on making it count.
