BY: Hannah Long The Warhawks of AUM faced the Statesmen of Delta State in a three game series on April 11 and 12. Game one was a rollercoaster of emotions for both teams.

The Statesmen were hard to stop, and they kept running up th...

Warhawks Fall Short in All Three Games vs Mississippi College

BY: Hannah Long The AUM baseball team set out to face the Choctaws of Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss. on April 17 and 18. This series was a big one for the Warhawks. The GSC tournament is coming up, and they needed this weekend to be in their favor. Game one started off hot for AUM as they scored one run in the first inning to kick things off. Senior Troy Jones pitched eight innings, only allowing three runs on eight hits and striking out six Choctaws. The Choctaws answered AUM’s one run and scored a run in the second inning, bringing the game to a tie.

AUM vs West Florida Baseball Recap

BY: Hannah Long The AUM Warhawks took on the West Florida Argonauts in a three game series last weekend, March 12 and 13. The first game, starting at 5 p.m. on March 12, started off right for the Warhawks. Troy Jones, the senior ace pitcher, took the mound and never left. He scattered six hits and struck out seven Argos to complete the game with a 3-0 win. This was a huge game for the Warhawks, considering West Florida is ranked No. 21 in the nation. This win brought AUM Baseball to 11-7 overall and 9-7 in Gulf South Conference play. While it was a great celebration to come out and beat this team in the first game of the series, the Warhawks still had two other games they needed to take care of to complete the series. On March 13, AUM fought hard, but the Arg...

AUM Women’s Basketball Season Recap

BY: Randy Dunn The Lady Warhawks had a very rough start and finish to this season. After finishing 12-16 and having some sparks of great play, they finished the 2020 season 2-13. A big factor that played a part in this disappointing season was COVID-19. The protocols and rules coming into play limited the Warhawks when it came to practicing and being able to become more solid as a team. Last year, the Warhawks had many junior and senior leaders who knew how to win when games got tough and close. Unfortunately, this year this team was noticeably young and inexperienced, so being thrown into the fire may have been too much. Senior Catlin Carter had an impressive season and led the team with an average score of 13.5 PPG. She led the way and showed that she was the go-to scorer when ...

AUM Men’s Basketball Season Comes to a Wrap

BY: Randy Dunn With the Warhawks’ basketball season coming to an end it did not come with a conference championship or even an invite to the playoffs. Although they came short of those goals and ended the season with a 3-14 record, not all is lost. A big factor that played a part in this disappointing season was COVID-19. The protocols and rules coming into play limited the Warhawks when it came to practicing and being able to become more solid as a team because of the team’s inexperience with only three seniors returning to the roster. Last year, the Warhawks had many junior and senior leaders that knew how to win when games got tough and close. Unfortunately, this year this team was very underclassmen-heavy, which left it on the other side of victory. No matter what, they always c...

Take In Every Moment

BY: Hannah Long COVID-19 has impacted everyone’s lives. For AUM Women’s Soccer, it has impacted their season. The team plays roughly 17 games each season,and more if they make it to the GSC tournament. During this season, the Lady Warhawks were allowed only six conference games with a one-game guarantee in the playoff tournament. This is not a way the seniors wanted to end their season. Senior Ali Brewer spoke with me about her senior year and how she wishes things were different. “Yes we are lucky to even have a season, but with only playing six games it is like we didn’t even get one,” Brewer said. “We do get an extra year, which is nice, but for me and some other seniors, we won’t take it because we are graduating and starting our careers.” The Lady Warhawks pl...

AUM Men’s Basketball vs. University of West Florida

BY: Randy Dunn The AUM Warhawks are coming back home to play against the University of West Florida Argonauts after a four-game road trip. Although the gym won’t be packed, just being back home under their own lights with familiar routines will help the Warhawks in a great way. This will be the third matchup of the COVID impacted season. Both teams grabbed a win in the first two games. Maharrith Jackson (#0 Senior Guard), Stanley Davis(#12 RS Senior Guard) and Jeremiah Bozeman (#22 Senior Guard) will continue to lead this young Warhawks team, as they are the only three seniors on the roster. They have the most experience and have been playing West Florida for years, so hopefully, they will score another win to help AUM get back on track. Gameday will be Feb. 19 at 6 p.m at AUM’S ...

The GSC Postpones Fall Sports

BY: Jayla Brown The spread of COVID-19 has shifted the way colleges and universities are being run for the fall semester, including their athletic departments. Many athletic departments have had to postpone fall athletics until the spring. Auburn University at Montgomery's (AUM) athletic department is included. On August 12, 2020, The Gulf South Conference (GSC) postponed basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball until January 2021. The announcement was given by the GSC Board of Directors. The board classified these sports as high risk and high contact according to the (NCAA). I was able to catch up with athletic director Jessie Rosa about the future of AUM athletics.

AUM Softball Could Benefit from Stoppage in Play

BY: Jason Martin With so many sports programs across the country being affected by the CoViD-19 virus, there can be positives taken from the nationwide sports hiatus that was put into effect by the NCAA and the Gulf South Conference. One benefit to the stoppage in play could lay with the AUM softball team. The Warhawks were tabbed to be one of the top teams in the country after being picked third in the Gulf South Conference preseason polls, and that is where they currently stand at the break. After winning seven games in a row, the Orange & Black brought their record to 17-5 on the year with an 8-4 record in conference action. The Warhawks were about to enter a critical GSC series at the AUM Softball Complex against No. 25 Alabama Huntsville, but the season was put on hold the day...
