Now this is the most Utah in-game contest I’ve seen tonight.

The guy in the white shirt on the left won a pair of skis after eating an entire @Cinnabon in one bite.

🏀 Jermaine Taylor is the GOAT of @UCF_MBB. He left it all out there for #UCF and in his pro career.
He deserves to have his jersey retired. #GKCO

The Nauts’ are out of this world👽🚀

[Eric Lopez @EricLopezELO]

First @UCF_Softball team to win 3 games and finish with a winning record in @ClearwaterInv. 4-2 week with wins over Missouri who beat Duke today. Northwestern. LSU and NC State. 3 Of those wins if not all 4 will be Top 50 wins with a likely Top 10-20 win. Good week!

[Bryson Turner @itsBrysonTurner]

.@UCF_MTennis rebounds from yesterday’s loss with a sweep against UC Santa Barbara.

The Knights (9-1) will be back tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. for one last match in Waco in which they’ll face #17 LSU.

[Bryson Turner @itsBrysonTurner]

Freshman Jordan Lodise reached base in all of his plate appearances while SP Joey Trombley gave up two hits and a run in another seven-inning win over Siena for @UCF_Baseball.

Both teams are back again tomorrow at 1 p.m. as the Knights go for the sweep.

[Bryson Turner @itsBrysonTurner]

.@hildie_dempsey and Isabella Vega (@IsabellaV2023) combined to allow just one run on 8 hits to #10 LSU.

That, combined with @_aubreyevans going 3-4 with 2 RBIs, helps @UCF_Softball earn its first win over a Top 10 opponent this season.

Last season, it had 3.
