St. Edward's men's and women's cross country teams feature prominently this Week at the Hilltop, with the Hilltoppers traveling to Denver, Colorado, on Saturday to participate in the NCAA South Central Regionals at Washington Park. 
 
The men are coming off the best Lone Star Conference Championships in program history, placing second with all-conference performances from OMAR GUZMAN, IVAN GUZMAN, and DYLAN SEQUEIRA. They hope to ride that momentum to a trip to nationals. The women also compete after placing fourth in the LSC Championships with a new program record set by MIA RIVERA and several personal records set by the rest of the roster. 
 
Women's soccer host West Texas A&M on Monday at 2:00 p.m., then finish the regular season at Sul Ross State on Thursday at 11:00 a.m.
 
The Hilltoppers are surging with shutout victories in five of their last six games, trying to overtake Oklahoma Christian or Midwestern State for one of the final two spots in the Lone Star Conference Tournament. The regular season's final week also features an LSC goals-scored title race between St. Edward's first-year ANNIE ROCHA (10 goals) and Oklahoma Christian's Kyla Lovelace (13 goals). 
 
Men's soccer travels to close out its regular season on Wednesday, Nov. 6, with a 7:00 p.m. game against West Texas A&M. St. Edward's is led by a stingy defense anchored by IRVIN ABARCA and goalkeeper ANGEL RAMIREZ, and forwards ARTHUR SOUZA and CHRISTIAN MEZAS, who are second in the LSC in goals scored and assists, respectively. 
 
The Hilltoppers are currently third in the LSC standings, sitting one point behind Midwestern State, who finish the season against conference leader St. Mary's. St. Edward's owns the tiebreaker with Midwestern State, having prevailed 5-0 in the head-to-head contest. The top two seeds receive a first-round bye and automatic trip to San Antonio for the semifinals. St. Edward's will host a playoff game on Saturday if they remain in the third seed. 
 
Volleyball travels westward to play Western New Mexico on Thursday at 7:00 p.m., then back to the Lone Star State to face Texas Permian Basin on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. First-year MIA CLAY is seventh in the LSC in kills per set, averaging 3.44, and first-year setter ALTHEA MORRIS is fourth in assists with 10.25 per set.

St. Edward's opened the season 2-1 in Montana, led by a swarming defense and the frontcourt pairing of BLAKE NIELSEN and JAMISON KAY. 
 
St. Edward's hosts the women's basketball South Central Regional Crossover, facing Regis on Friday at 6:00 p.m. in their home opener and Colorado School of Mines on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. The Hilltoppers were 0-3 on their trip to Canada but were competitive against the No. 4 Tampa and No. 11 Gannon, pulling within one or two possessions in the fourth quarter before fading late.
