Jaila Harding’s school record-breaking performance led the Shockers to a 62-61 win over UTSA Feb. 21 afternoon during the annual Play4Kay pink game in Charles Koch Arena.

With her third make from deep, Harding broke Wichita State’s 26-year old single-season record for made three-pointers, previously set by Courtney Sims in the 1999-2000 season, and she pushed her season total to 75 by the end of the night. She added a steal and logged nearly 37 minutes on her way to 19 points in the win.

Shocker women’s bowling shook off a series of tough-luck losses to defeat two of the nation’s top teams and win the Big Red Invite Feb. 22 at Hollywood Bowl in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The tournament title is the 252nd in program history and the second of the 2025-26 season.

For much of the weekend, it was a frustrating trip to Lincoln for the Shockers (64-27). Wichita State went just 3-8 over the first two days of matches, plus the final traditional match on Sunday morning. Among those eight losses, WSU fell by margins of two pins (twice), 10 pins, 22 pins and 36 pins. But despite the results, the Shockers continued to post strong scores, carding a 977 or better in all matches and seven matches of 1,000 or better.

The Shocker women’s tennis team was ranked No. 24 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) top 75 rankings Feb. 18.

The No. 24 ranking is the highest for the Shockers since March 6, 2018, when the team was ranked No. 23. Wichita State owns wins over two other ranked teams: SMU (No. 23) and Iowa (No. 37).

In addition to the team ranking, Wichita State’s Giorgia Roselli and Xin Tong Wang are ranked No. 9 in doubles, breaking their own record for the highest doubles ranking in program history. 

Wichita State’s Jose Miguel Ramirez posted the second-best individual round score in program history on his way to a runner-up finish, leading the Shockers to a fourth-place team result on Tuesday at the Border Olympics at Laredo Country Club.

The Shockers posted rounds of 300, 276, and 283 for an 859 (+7) team score to earn their fifth consecutive top-five finish. No. 50 Houston won the team title with an 850 (-2) team score. Houston’s No. 76 Hudson Weibel earned the individual title with a 205 (-8) performance, edging Wichita State’s Ramirez by two strokes.

The Shockers struggled in the opening round, sitting in last place at 16-over-par.
