This Week at the Hilltop, St. Edward's women's basketball celebrates 50 years as a program with its 50th-anniversary team unveiling, and both men's and women's basketball celebrate Senior Day. Softball opens conference play on the road, and baseball hosts Cameron at Lucian-Hamilton Field. 
 
Women's Basketball (10-15, 6-10)
St. Edward's hosts the two Oklahoma teams this week. It opens against Cameron (1-16, 1-10) and Oklahoma Christian (4-13, 3-8). 
 
Cameron is coming off a weekend split at home, blowing out Texas A&M International and losing to Texas A&M-Kingsville. The Aggies have three players averaging double figures, led by Alena Wilson's 19.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. 
 
St. Edward's defeated Cameron 83-76 in the previous meeting, getting big shots down the stretch from ISABEL LANGENBERG and J.P. The weekend was part of the second-unit renaissance with BAILEY FEATHERSTONE and ISABEL LANGENBERG stepping up. 
 
Oklahoma Christian (7-14, 4-13) snapped an eight-game losing streak in a 71-61 win over Texas A&M International. The Eagles are led by the one-two punch of Kate Bradley and Taylor Jackson, who both average 14 points per game. Bradley leads the team in assists at 3.0 per game, and Jackson leads the team with 8.3 rebounds. 
 
MIKAH CHAPMAN led St. Edward's to a win in the previous meeting against Oklahoma Christian, recording a 14-point, 12-rebound double-double. 
 
St. Edward's women's basketball will unveil its 50th anniversary team at halftime on Saturday and celebrate seniors ISABEL LANGENBERG and AINSLEY THUNELL after the game. 
 
Men's Basketball (15-10, 9-7)
St. Edward's men's basketball is sitting eighth in the LSC Standings, a game ahead of West Texas A&M in the loss column for the final spot in the LSC Tournament and a game behind Eastern New Mexico and Angelo State in the win column. The Hilltoppers own the head-to-head tiebreaker against Angelo State. 
 
JAMISON KAY has emerged as St. Edward's leading scorer over the past four games. He averages 17.5 points per game and shoots .538 percent from the field. His increase in scoring isn't simply a matter of more finishing opportunities but increased responsibilities in playmaking. He has recorded 13 points over the past four games. 
 
GAVINO RAMOS has found the balance between scoring and playmaking, averaging 15.3 points and 9.0 assists in the last two weeks. At the same time, CONOR MCMANUS has been a flamethrower from deep, shooting 13-for-22 (.591 percent) from beyond the 3-point line the past four games. 
 
In the previous meeting, St. Edward's defeated Cameron 82-63, but it lost by three to Oklahoma Christian due to a critical turnover in the closing minute. 
 
Before Saturday's game, the Hilltoppers will celebrate seniors JAKE DEFRANZA, LUKE KISER, GAVINO RAMOS, LEWIS ROWE, student-assistants Romeo Davis and Jesus Cardoza, and alum BENNETT MOHN. 
 
Baseball (5-3, 5-3)
After winning three of four against West Texas A&M in the opening series, baseball split its four-game series against Eastern New Mexico. The Hilltoppers won both nine-inning games and were shut out in the seven-inning doubleheader games. They are ranked fourth in the region by the NCBWA. 
 
St. Edward's pitching and defense have been solid through eight games, ranking first in the conference and eighth nationally with an ERA of 2.70. The pitching staff is anchored by KOBE JARAMILLO, who won LSC Pitcher of the Week in Week 1 and is sixth in the nation in strikeouts after recording 10 in six innings last Friday. 
 
TREVOR SEBEK is off to a stellar start, hitting .440 with an on-base percentage of .58, drawing eight walks. He's recorded three RBI and scored eight runs. Outfielders MARCO BARRERA and DYLAN TATE are hitting .375 and .346, respectively, and CONNOR COX is hitting .320. Those three have combined for 13 RBI, 12 runs, and four doubles. 
 
Cameron is 3-5 with a series split against Texas A&M International and three losses in four games against Texas A&M-Kingsville. 
 
Softball (6-4, 0-0)
Softball took three of five games last week, splitting its doubleheader against Colorado Christian and taking two of three against MSU-Denver. 
 
St. Edward's got great performances from starting pitcher LISETTE URQUIDEZ, who posted two wins in two starts and delivered a one-hit masterpiece against MSU-Denver with no walks or runs surrendered, and KATIE DILLON's .571 batting average for the week. 
 
The Hilltoppers have four players hitting over .300, led by Dillon's .500 batting average. Alea Deserrano emerged last week with a home run and is now hitting .444 with four RBI and five runs scored. ELLA HUTZLER is hitting .333 with two home runs, and Morris is batting .324 with a team-high seven RBI. 
 
Softball opens on the road against No. 9 West Texas A&M (10-0), who've reached double-digit runs in six of 10 games played, all ending in five innings. The Lady Buffs lead the nation in doubles, are third in batting average, and first in home runs. 
 
Midwestern State (3-6) split its four games last week. Sydney Linn is hitting .455 in eight games with four RBI and four runs scored. Camile Nunez is hitting .379 with six RBI, a home run, a triple, and a double.
