Coming Up on Bison Hill (Oct. 16-22)

SHAWNEE – Fall Free Days may be this week, but our student-athletes are still hard at work. Here's what's coming up on Bison Hill.
 
Monday: Men's Golf heads to Wichita Falls, Texas, for the Midwestern State Invitational at the Wichita Falls Country Club. It's the first time the Bison have competed at the event in the Division II era.
 
Tuesday: Men's Golf plays a final round of 18 at the MSU Invitational. Women's Soccer faces Southern Nazarene in rivalry action at the OBU Soccer Complex at 5:30 p.m. The Lady Bison dropped the Crimson Storm, 2-0, behind goals from Abigail Parker and Ruth King earlier this year.
 
Thursday: Women's Soccer makes the short trip to Ada to take on East Central at 4 p.m. in Great American Conference action. Hannah White scored the lone goal in the first meeting between the two sides in Shawnee earlier this year. Men's Soccer welcomes Upper Iowa to the OBU Soccer Complex for a 5 p.m. tilt. It's the first all-time meeting between the two teams. Volleyball returns home to host No. 16 Arkansas Tech inside the Noble Complex at 7 p.m. Nicole Fleitman laid down 15 kills as the Lady Bison dropped the Golden Suns in a five-set thriller in Russellville, Arkansas, last year.
 
Friday: Volleyball has a quick turnaround as they host Harding at 6 p.m. in the Noble Complex. Oklahoma Baptist fell to Harding on the road in Searcy, Arkansas, in 2016.
 
Saturday: Men's and Women's Cross Country heads to Magnolia, Arkansas, for the GAC Championships at 9:30 a.m. (women) and 10:30 a.m. (men). This is the first time both teams are eligible to compete as teams at the championship event since joining the GAC. Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving travels to Little Rock to swim at the Arkansas-Little Rock Invitational. It's the first time either team has swam at the Donaghey Student Aquatic Center since December 2014. Football makes its final trip of the year to Arkansas when they face Ouachita Baptist in Arkadelphia at 1 p.m. Cagney Roberson racked up 128 yards on five receptions in a home loss to the Tigers last year. Men's Soccer faces Southwest Baptist in home action at 3 p.m. The Bison tied the Bearcats, 3-3, on a neutral field in 2016. Men's Basketball provides fans with their first look of the team when they host Mid-America Christian in a scrimmage at 3 p.m. in the Noble Complex. It's the first time the Bison and Evangels have faced each other since February 2015.
