BEARCAT HIGHLIGHTS
 
Women's Volleyball
Junior Ella Rademaker is having an incredible season with 262 total kills thus far. In GLVC play, she is averaging 4.78 kills per set which is 2^nd in the conference. This last weekend she had two 20+ kill games moving her into 8^th all-time in SBU history with 844 kills. She has a streak of 13 straight 10+ kill games.
 
Football
Last week Logan Turner made his 6^th career 50+ yard field goal with his season high 50-yard field goal against Missouri S&T. The Bearcat offense is one of six teams in the Nation with a perfect redzone offense this year, scoring every time they have the ball within the 20-yard line. Senior Jordan Kent ranks 1^st in the GLVC in receiving touchdowns this year with 4.
 
Men's Soccer
The team is only one GLVC standings point away from tying their total points last year. Six of their first seven games have been against the top-8 teams in the GLVC, with five of their next seven games coming against the bottom half of the GLVC.
 
Women's Soccer
Freshman goalkeeper Cece Alexander ranks as one of the best goalkeepers in the conference but also in the Nation. Her average of 7.5 saves per game is 2^nd in the GLVC and 20^th in the Nation. Two weeks ago, she became the 2^nd Bearcat to earn a GLVC women's soccer Athlete of the Week award.
 
Men's Cross Country
In the first three meets of the year, there have been three different Bearcats to be the top Bearcat. At the SBU invite, senior Trevor Maxville finished first, then a week later sophomore Jackson Leeds took the top spot. Two weeks ago, sophomore Collins Kiplagat led all other Bearcats, showing the high potential of this team.
 
Women's Cross Country
In just three meets so far this season, the Bearcats have two GLVC runners of the week. This is more than the last two years combined. First Senior Olivia Littleton won the award after taking 1^st place over Division I runners. Then freshman Natalie Gerdes won the award by beating her personal best by more than 20 seconds.
