📈 STOCK UP

🔼  Strength In Experience. Bulldog volleyball head coach Julie Darty Dennis announced five transfers who will join the team for the 2024 season. Joining the squad are newcomers Mele Corral-Blagojevich, Arianna Beckham, Kennedy Davis, Cecilia Harness and Kailin Newsome. The transfer class flaunts plenty of experience, as three of the players have more than four years of collegiate volleyball under their wing.

🗣️ "Experience is so important at this level. We are looking forward to these young women coming in and immediately impacting and program. I think they are each individually wonderful people, but they are equally great volleyball players, and they really complement our team and complete our roster for this fall.” - Julie Darty Dennis

🔼  Climbing The Leaderboard. A career-low day for Garrett Endicott lifted the rising Bulldog men’s golfer 40 spots on the leaderboard and into the top five­ midway through the prestigious Northeast Amateur. Endicott shot a 6-under 63, which would better the lowest round of his collegiate career. Now heading into the third and fourth rounds, Endicott is tied for fourth and will be looking to climb even higher.

🔼  Super Slugger. The Diamond Dawg’s Hunter Hines is showing his best stuff at the MLB Combine. Hines was listed as a day two standout after batting practice where he hit the fifth-hardest ball of the day (111.4 MPH) and the furthest home run of the session (441.7 feet). He, along with four other Bulldogs, will continue workouts at the MLB Combine through the weekend ahead of the 2024 MLB Draft on July 14.

🔼  Road Dawgs. Bulldog soccer staff is ready to hit the road to find the future Soccer Dawgs. Assistant head coach Nick Zimmerman and assistant coach Drago Ceranic are headed to California to scout out the talent at the Girls Academy Playoffs and Showcase.
