Coming Up on Bison Hill (Feb. 13-19)

SHAWNEE – A packed week highlighted by a pair of national championship meets await Oklahoma Baptist's student-athletes this week. Here's what's coming up on Bison Hill.
 
Monday: Rivalry action ensues for Women's Basketball when they square off with Southern Nazarene inside the Noble Complex at 5:30 p.m. The Lady Bison will look to avenge a 96-65 road loss to the Crimson Storm suffered earlier this season in Bethany, Oklahoma. Men's Basketball takes on SNU's men at 7:30 p.m. The Bison are hoping to stop a four-game slide with a win over their rivals. The theme for tonight's games is "Pink Out" in support of Coaches Versus Cancer.
 
Wednesday: Baseball heads south of the Red River for a game against Dallas Christian at 2 p.m. Brandon Cuddy and Ryan Joyce combined for nine RBI as the Bison earned a six-inning run rule victory, 20-3, over Dallas Christian last year in the Lone Star State.
 
Thursday: Women's Basketball heads to Weatherford, Oklahoma, for their last road game of the season when they face Southwestern Oklahoma State at 5:30 p.m. Kaydee Banks sealed a narrow 81-79 win over the Lady Bulldogs in Shawnee last month. Men's Basketball wraps up their final road game at 7:30 p.m., also against the Bulldogs. Travon Moore dropped 19 on SWOSU the last time the two teams met, but OBU fell at home, 83-73.
 
Friday: Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field make the trip to Houghton, New York, for the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Championship. The Lady Bison produced five individual champions, while the Bison dominated with nine en route to a pair of NCCAA National Championship titles, the 21st and 22nd in OBU Athletics history. Baseball opens up their Great American Conference slate on the road in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, against Ouachita Baptist at 2 p.m. Oklahoma Baptist won the series, 2-1, against the Tigers last season in Shawnee. Softball finally gets their season started with a twin bill at home against Southwestern College (Kan.) starting at 2 p.m. The Lady Bison own a seven-game win streak against Southwestern, and last faced Moundbuilders in 2014 when OBU won, 6-0.
