As the UCO Athletic Media Relations Office makes its first official Broncho Blog installment today, we take a quick look at what each of our fall sports is up to during this busy week.
Soccer: Mike Cook's Bronchos put a seven-game winning streak on the line Tuesday night against league rival Southwestern Oklahoma at Wantland Stadium. This UCO club has improved by leaps and bounds over the past three weeks and is ready to show it is a viable contender for the Lone Star Conference crown. The Bronchos follow tonight's game with two important road contests this weekend, none bigger than Friday's showdown against preseason LSC favorite West Texas A&M.
Volleyball: The Bronchos take a break from their conference schedule this weekend for a trip to the Arkansas Tech Invitational, where UCO will play three matches. Jeff Boyland's crew has lost some tight matches this year, but the Bronchos were impressive in two LSC wins last weekend and look to be finding their way after some shuffling around of personnel trying to find the right combination to put on the court.
Football: Hard to believe we're already at the halfway point of the football season, but such is the case. It's Homecoming for the Bronchos Saturday afternoon against a dangerous Southwest Baptist squad and UCO is still stinging from a last-second loss at Texas A&M-Commerce last week. There should be plenty of offensive fireworks at Wantland Stadium Saturday, with the Bronchos ready to get back on the winning track and jumpstart a second-half comeback.
Cross Country: UCO is battling through some injury issues right now and may not be at full strength for Saturday's Cowboy Jamboree in Stillwater. The Bronchos are still a young team with only one senior on the roster and have made improvement every time out this fall.
Rowing: Ready for its second year of competition is the rowing team that will be in action at the Oklahoma River Saturday for the Boot of the Oklahoma Regatta. UCO normally has to travel great distances to compete in this sport, so this is a rare opportunity for family and fans alike to see the Bronchos in action.
And finally, congratulations to the newest member of the UCO Athletic Family . . . women's track and field head coach Martha Brennan. Martha led her former team, Wisconsin-River Falls, to the Division III national championship two years ago and will be a great addition to UCO as women's track returns after an eight-year hiatus.
