The Texas Tech sports teams had a busy weekend with softball, baseball, and women’s tennis in action.

Star pitcher NiJaree Canady was instrumental in the victories, picking up wins in both games of a doubleheader on Friday and a complete game shutout on Saturday. Texas Tech baseball, on the other hand, dropped two of three games to Cincinnati, continuing their struggles after sweeping their first Big 12 series. The women’s tennis team continued their dominance by defeating Cincinnati 4-0 to move to 17-2 overall and 10-1 in the Big 12.

The Red Raiders softball team will face Houston next weekend, while the baseball team will play New Mexico before hosting Baylor. The women’s tennis squad will take on Arizona State in their next match. Overall, it was a mixed weekend for Texas Tech sports teams, with some impressive wins and tough losses across the board.
