Mass times velocity equals momentum. As the Lady Topper golf team finishes its regular season competition, this weekend should have provided momentum to boost it into the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. Western competed in the Eastern Kentucky Spring Invitational, finished third out of 12 teams and carded a total of 657.

Three weeks removed from playing under the sunny skies of Hawaii, the men’s golf team may still be suffering from jetlag. The Toppers finished ninth after the final round of play Tuesday at the Middle Tennessee Aldila Invitational. With a final team score of 892, the men finished 30 strokes behind champion Southeastern Louisiana, which is ranked No.

With the Sun Belt Championships in sight, multiple members of the tennis teams said they looked at this home weekend as a “must-win.” Yet only one of the teams must have listened. Western turned in an uneven weekend, as the men won 5-2 but the women were blanked 6-0 at Bowling Green High School on Sunday.

Jackhammers rattled the faded Smith Stadium’s red and white stands Tuesday afternoon. Bulldozers roared behind the gated end zone moving mounds of dirt. But it was an unfamiliar voice that took center stage at spring football practice. Former University of Georgia and Marshall University head coach Jim Donnan arrived at practice Tuesday to serve as a consultant.
