Upcoming sports games around WU during a pause in exam studying this week and next.
Cardinals pitcher killed in car crash
Cardinals relief pitcher Josh Hancock was killed at 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning in a car crash on Interstate 64/Highway 40. The 29-year-old rear-ended a parked tow truck that had stopped to help with an earlier car crash. The driver of the tow truck was in the vehicle at the time but escaped uninjured.
Track and field shines against teams in all divisions
Looks like the individual parts are just as good as the sum.
After stellar team performances at the University Athletic Association Championships, the Washington University track and field teams took part in individual competition at the SIU-Edwardsville Twilight in Edwardsville, Ill.
Men’s tennis finishes second in conference
After a strong showing at the UAA Championships this past weekend in Cleveland, the Washington University men’s tennis team ultimately took home the second-place prize.
The team, ranked ninth nationally and second in the conference, garnered victories over both New York University and Carnegie Mellon University before falling Sunday to top-seeded Emory University in a narrow 5-4 defeat.
Baseball blows out Chicago in final home outing
Eddy Hoering’s RBI double to right center field in the home half of the seventh inning on Sunday marked an abrupt, well-deserved end to a long weekend of crucial late-season action for the Washington University baseball team.
The extra-base hit scored sophomore Zander Lehmann and gave the Bears a mercy-rule-shortened 13-3 victory over league rival U.
Softball dominates senior weekend
The Washington University softball team remained untouchable this weekend, sweeping their three games and extending their win streak to 18.
The 16th-ranked Bears won both games of their doubleheader Saturday against Maryville University, edging a 3-2 victory in the first game and riding a strong offense and another dominant pitching performance by senior Laurel Sagartz to a 9-0 win in the second.

New international leadership program created
