The No. 7 WashU softball team is the University Athletic Association (UAA) champion for the second year in a row after going 2-1 against Emory University on May 8 and 9.
No. 18 WashU baseball opened the weekend of April 25-26 in dominant fashion, exploding with an 11-run inning in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against Case Western Reserve University — their second-highest single-inning total all season.
On April 24, 25, and 26, No. 3 WashU women’s tennis played in the University Athletic Association (UAA) conference tournament in Altamonte Springs, Florida. While the weekend began with control and confidence, the Bears fell to No. 1 University of Chicago — ending their run just shy of the championship title.
In the last decade, the University Athletic Association has only known one champion in women’s outdoor track and field: WashU. On April 25 and 26, the No. 3 women’s track and field team successfully defended 10 years of history to claim the 2026 UAA title with 221 points.
The No. 2 women’s and No. 11 men’s tennis teams finished the weekend with only one lost match against North Central College at WashU’s very own Tao Tennis Center with a final combined score of 13-1.
Sophomore forward Connor May, the leading scorer on the WashU men’s basketball team in the 2025-26 season, is transferring to Division I Yale University.
Since starting UAA play, WashU is 10-2, with seven of its victories ending early due to mercy rule. This places it tied for first in the conference and ranked third in the D-III NCAA Power Index with eight games left in regular season play. If the Bears want to reach their third straight NCAA D-III regional, they’ll have to continue to excel.
For the fourth consecutive time in UAA play, the Bears had dropped their series opener. However, much like they have all season, the Bears rallied. With inclement weather threatening Sunday’s game, the schedule was adjusted to play a doubleheader on Friday, ahead of Saturday’s doubleheader, to fit the full series in.
No. 2 WashU women’s tennis split results this past weekend, falling 4-3 to No. 4 ranked University of Chicago before bouncing back with a commanding sweep of No. 27 Grinnell College.
The Eagles put on a stunning performance — ultimately taking the first two games on account of several clutch offensive moments. To bounce back, the Bears rallied together, scraping together a 9-8 victory in game three and tying the series in game four with a mercy ruling final score of 15-5.
