SOFTBALL
After earning their first win of the season last Sunday, the softball team heads to South Carolina for the Gamecock Invitational. The Lions will play North Carolina A&T State and South Carolina in a doubleheader Friday. Columbia will then play North Carolina Wilmington on Saturday and Illinois on Sunday. Jaden Hill finished last weekend's five-game slate going 8-for-18 at the plate with three doubles and one RBI. Bubba Gleaves was 5-for-13 at the plate with one double, one triple, and eight RBI. First-year Eleni Katsivalis started her Columbia career by going 4-for-6 at the plate, appearing in four games. She was recognized as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week for her performance. Jordan Hill earned a win in the circle as she finished the weekend 1-2. She totaled seven strikeouts.
BASEBALL
The Lions play its second series of the season this weekend at UNC Wilmington at Brooks Field. Columbia will send Andy Leon, JD Ogden, and Joe Sheets to the mound. The starting pitcher in game two of Saturday's doubleheader is still to be determined. The Lions are coming off a season-opening series with No. 19 Virginia in which the Cavaliers took all three games. Hayden Schott went 5-for-12 with a home run in the series. Sheets threw four scoreless innings in the series finale, allowing four hits and striking out two while stranding five base runners.
TRACK & FIELD
The indoor track & field team follows up its solid performance at the Ivy League Indoor Heps last weekend with a trip to Boston this weekend to compete in the ECAC/IC4A Indoor Championships. Last weekend, the Lions had major performances from the likes of Justin O'Toole, Victoria Patterson, and many others, which included three gold medals, multiple broken records, and a collection of podium finishes. They will look to ride that momentum into this weekend, and add to the collection of impressive performances at ECACs.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
The Lions close out the 2022-23 season at Cornell on Saturday at 2 p.m. from Newman Arena at Bartels Hall. Columbia (7-21, 2-11) is coming off an 84-73 Senior Day defeat to Brown. Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa has scored in double-figures in five straight games. Liam Murphy, Noah Robledo, and Avery Brown also chipped in double-figures scoring in the loss last Saturday. With a win, the Lions eliminate Cornell's chances of claiming the fourth spot in the Ivy League Tournament.
