The NMHU Cowboy Basketball team has qualified for the Regional tournament to be played in Mankato, Minnesota this weekend. The Cowboys are one of four RMAC teams qualified for the tourney after finishing 20-10 overall this season. The Cowboys will be the sixth seeded team in the tournament. 

The Cowgirl Softball team took to the road to take on the University of Colorado- Colorado Springs Mountain Lions. The Cowgirls won the series taking three of the four games. This is the first RMAC series the Cowgirls have won since Head Coach Shellie Broyles took to the helm in the 2008 season. The Cowgirls took game one in convincing fashion with a 13-4 score. Leading the Cowgirls to their first win on the weekend was freshman pitcher Melissa Martinez. She pitched the entire six innings and recorded 13 strikeouts. The Cowgirls hit it big in the second inning as they scored eight runs in that inning alone.
